Have you ever ran a business that, uh, intended to scale beyond one employee and a hobby website? I've never seen a company be threatened with some form of legal attack and not get lawyers involved. Especially with such a new law like the GDPR that has no judicial precedences upon which to build business processes. I've been in companies as small as 4 people, and we still had lawyers on retainer for stuff like this (copyright violations in user hosted content was a big one before GDPR). If you can completely distill a binder of a legal framework down to an "if this then that else this" sentence, you don't understand it, and your hubris is going to kill your company. If you think the correct response is "don't respond, wait until it escalates", you don't understand it and your hubris is going to kill your company. If you're doing anything worthwhile you're going to be bumping up against some law or another, and you can't just ignore it and you can't afford to not understand it. That's why you pay lawyers.
