Data privacy and security are increasingly vital to businesses and their clients. A stolen laptop, credit card data theft, employee embezzlement, wire fraud, or a hacker with access to the company website or private databases can quickly destroy reputations, finances, and relationships.
We work with our clients to develop comprehensive data security plans that ensure compliance with internal controls and safety measures, industry-specific rules, and state and international regulations, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA), and the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA).
At the same time, we help businesses further reduce risk by auditing company systems to discover and eliminate weaknesses that could lead to cybersecurity breaches. To do this, we bring in specialized IT professionals to identify and help resolve hidden vulnerabilities, all under the confidentiality of attorney-client privilege.
Clients trust our counsel to guide them in sound business and security practices that cover using publicly available files, protecting company records, handling customer data, and more. They appreciate our comprehensive service and relentless advocacy as we help them manage risk and protect their data and reputations. Some of the areas in which we can help:
- Breach notification and representation before regulators
- Bring your own device (BYOD)
- Employee data management
- Employer and employee relationships
- Government and criminal investigations
- HIPAA and HITECH security assessments and audits
- Intellectual property litigation

- Safe-harbor provisions
