On Hand March 2023

March 2023 continued the onslaught of developments in the world of data protection, cyber security, AI and machine learning, content regulation, information rights and access to information, and reputation management.

Each month, Handley Gill creates ‘On Hand’, our monthly digital newsletter, which is updated with the latest developments throughout the month. While the newsletter is intended to be in a readily digestible digital format, those who prefer the traditional newsletter format can export the newsletter to pdf.
