Cases & Lacambra has announced the appointment of Lidia Vidal as counsel, coming from Pinsent Masons. With her incorporation, the firm expands its portfolio of services to cover Digital Law, Privacy, Intellectual Property and Information Technology.
“Lidia’s arrival is a decisive step and a strategic reinforcement that allows us to continue growing, responding and accompanying our clients more effectively in the management and use of AI and data.

Lidia Vidal
With more than 11 years of experience, Vidal is specialised in contract negotiation, the adaptation of digital platforms to data protection and e-commerce regulations, as well as trademark, copyright, advertising law, consumer and user rights, and image rights.

New position
In her new position, Vidal will lead the promotion of this area working together with the rest of the firm’s practice groups linked to legal tech and digital transformation. She will also support M&A transactions in the technology sector and advise financial institutions on the challenges posed by technological evolution. In addition, in the field of data and artificial intelligence, she will accompany clients in the implementation of processes and the development of tools, with a special focus on the legal challenges posed by the management of personal data and the protection of intangible assets in highly digitalised environments.
