Sean Morris

I joined the team at Navigator in January 2022, and we merged with Higgs in February 2026. 

I have been advising businesses on data protection compliance since 2017, when clients needed support preparing for introduction of the UK GDPR.  I’ve advised and represented across a wide range of sectors, including charities, health care, education, retail, banking and financial services.

Typically, my work involves providing bespoke legally required documentation (ROPA, privacy notices, data protection policies) and help with internal data protection compliance audits.   

In addition, we are on hand for dealing with crisis situations, such as handling data breaches, or responding to data subject access requests and dealing with complaints about data protection and/or investigations by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).  

Also I deliver bespoke data protection training ‘in house’ for organisations and sector specific training for membership organisations and professional bodies (recent examples include the Scottish Council for Independent Schools (SCIS) and the UK’s Independent Schools Bursars Association (ISBA)).  

Prior to this, for most of my professional career, I worked as an employment law litigator, defending Tribunal claims against businesses across the UK (including Northern Ireland).  This involved successfully defending unfair dismissal, discrimination, breach of contract, and public interest disclosure claims against SMEs.
