If you know what you’re talking about then give the advice
I am in-house and I expect that biglaw US outside counsel has a working knowledge of GDPR to let me know general best practices and whether an issue is really a problem and should be directed to local EU counsel for further review.
We have reached out to local counsel for nitty gritty questions about member state specific implementations and data protection authority issues. Otherwise, we handle.
We always have to consult with coordinating counsel even if it’s something basic that we absolutely would know ourselves.
I would assume that, due to GDPRs extraterritorial nature, it's completely fine for you to advise on it without being established as an EU/UK attorney. None of the US-based outside counsel I've worked with for GDPR has been barred in the EU/UK.
Reach out to coordinating counsel. The GDPR is a tricky, and nuanced piece of legislation. It is not as straightforward as some might think and having a broader awareness of the guidance notes is important.
Usually just email one of my EU counterparts.
The purview of the GDPR extends beyond the actual geographical boundaries of the EU. Just do a little refresher on the GDPR scope and you'll thank me.
Loop in our European team if it is anything substantive.
