Abstract

The technological revolution, a hallmark of the fourth industrial revolution, has intensely reshaped the way people live, as well as the economic, social, cultural, and human context. Most of the activities developed in the network are financed by the collection, analysis and trade of data, the so-called data economy. A significant part of this data is personal. The capture of personal data that serve as raw material and control mechanism for sectors and tend to violate the privacy of their holders. In this context, the Brazilian General Data Protection Law establishes several duties for data processing agents in all economic and intellectual activities, including the provision of legal services. Thus, this research aimed to analyze the challenges of autonomous lawyers and small law firms/associations in the implementation of the General Law for the Protection of Personal Data – LGPD – in the municipality of Palmas in the state of Tocantins and to develop a Course for Professional Training, from a consistent theoretical support, to technically train autonomous lawyers and small associations/law firms in Palmas/TO in the processing of the personal data of its clients, enabling not only the protection of the rights related to the personal data of the clients, which constitute fundamental rights, but also the access to justice. Thus, from the recognition of the interdisciplinary nature of the research and its professional character, the method of approach used was the qualitative one associated with the use of deductive reasoning to consider the abstract perspective of the LGPD. Instruments of the quantitative approach were also used to survey the database, as well as direct and indirect documentary analysis, through primary and secondary sources. As results of the research, three bibliographic products were developed, consisting of scientific articles, the constitution of a sample database, the project of a professional training course for the protection of personal data in law and, finally, the conclusive technical report with the presentation of the development of all research and consolidation of the products.
