Cybersecurity, Privacy & Technology

Technological advances create significant opportunities for businesses, but also present significant risks. With enterprise risk management at the forefront of an ever-advancing regulatory agenda, a company must develop safeguards to protect its operations, employees, customers, and other stakeholders. Accordingly, we advise our clients on the full spectrum of legal, regulatory, reputational, and other issues arising from the manner in which they utilize, and are otherwise affected by, data collection, transactional websites, mobile applications, social media, cloud computing, and other recent innovations. Given the sensitive nature of the information customers, employees, and other stakeholders entrust to the companies with which they do business, every business should develop a plan to address information security and the processing of sensitive information in its possession.

Our Cybersecurity, Privacy & Technology Group is comprised of attorneys across various disciplines, including regulatory, transactional, and litigation, who provide our clients with comprehensive advice on how to address issues surrounding data collection, cybersecurity, and emerging technologies, including advising on:

• Compliance with global, U.S., and state privacy laws and regulations relating to the collection, use, processing, storage, and sharing of data.
• Consumer disclosures regarding privacy practices (such as website and mobile application privacy policies and other consumer notices).
• Review and negotiation of vendor contracts relating to the development, use, and licensing of technological services and innovations.
• Addressing the impact of global and local laws relating to the cross-border transfer of data.
