Cybersecurity and data privacy will be among your top concerns, whatever industry you’re operating in. This is brought into sharp focus as technologies advance, threats multiply, and regulations proliferate.
With over 150 dedicated cyber, privacy and data law attorneys around the world, we can assist you every step of the way. Our highly-integrated, interdisciplinary and deeply collaborative team provides pragmatic, precise, risk-based and timely advice in light of current and emerging threats, regulations, judicial decisions and revolutionary technologies.
We can provide you with full spectrum, globally coordinated advice, and help future-proof your compliance needs against the rapidly changing regulatory and threat environment. We are always available in response to a data privacy or cybersecurity incident, and we are there at each phase to develop and operationalize privacy compliance programs. We can also design, adopt and roll out revolutionary new technologies, defend against regulatory inquiries, enforcement action and litigation, ensure appropriate cybersecurity and privacy due diligence, and create and negotiate data clauses and agreements, including for cross-border data transfers.
Our team is tech savvy and tech forward, but we are also steeped in the more traditional regulatory environment, especially within highly regulated industries like financial services and energy. Our team includes former regulators, and drafters of key US cybersecurity legislation. This approach, combined with our global reach, is why many of the world’s most dynamic and successful companies rely on us for privacy and data security legal advice.
Our global lawyers can help you with all aspects of data privacy and technology law. Notable experience in this field includes:
- designing and operationalizing breach response policies and procedures to cover over 24 global jurisdictions, including the 50 US states, Puerto Rico, the UK and the EU, as well as proactively advising on privacy and security for the development of advanced new products for a Fortune 50 publicly traded technology company
