Data Security

Data privacy and data security regulatory compliance are among the most challenging issues facing businesses today. Fast-changing technology, shifting customer expectations, intense media scrutiny, new laws, and evolving business models have made privacy risks unavoidable. Data privacy obligations now touch nearly every business, including those that simply maintain a website. That is why our attorneys actively represent clients in privacy, data, and cybersecurity matters across a wide range of industries, from startups to established corporations.

Our firm has extensive experience assisting clients with data privacy compliance issues. We advise businesses on reviewing existing data protection practices, developing new data security procedures, and drafting comprehensive data privacy and security policies. We understand that safeguarding private information is critical not only to legal compliance but also to protecting a company's reputation and customer trust.

Legal protection of private personal information and personal health information has become increasingly complex over the past decade. Our attorneys counsel clients on privacy, data protection, information security, consumer protection, and records retention issues across a range of areas, including data breach and incident response, human resources issues, global data protection, information management, internet and computer technology, the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.

We also work closely with clients to prevent and mitigate the risks associated with data security breaches. When incidents occur, we are prepared to guide clients through incident response and defend against any resulting litigation, helping businesses navigate both the legal and reputational challenges that arise.
