Privacy & Cybersecurity Law Report has published the article “Major Boost for Standard Contractual Clauses Challenged by the Schrems 2.0 Case, But More Uncertainty for the Privacy Shield,” written by Akin Gump partner Mark Dawkins, counsel Jenny Arlington and associate Rachel Kurzweil. The article, which first appeared as an Akin Gump client alert, examines a case before the Court of Justice of the European Union “challenging the validity of Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), which are widely used to transfer personal data outside the European Union.”
The article includes some background on the case and then a discussion of some of the different issues at play. The authors note that a decision is expected by the end of June.
