Ron leads the firm’s Privacy + Cyber team. Drawing from nearly 30 years of experience, he provides comprehensive services to companies in all aspects of privacy, security, data use, and risk mitigation. Clients rely on his in-depth understanding of technology and its application to their business to solve their most important challenges — from implementation and strategy to litigation and incident response. Ron and his team have redefined the boundaries of typical law firm privacy and cyber services in offering a 360 degree approach to tackling information governance issues. Their holistic services include drafting and implementing bespoke privacy programs, program implementation, licensing, financing and M&A transactions, incident response, privacy and cyber litigation, regulatory investigations, and enforcement experience.

Ron guides clients through the legal and technological complexities involved with federal and state privacy, security, and data use laws. He helps a wide range of clients, including CRAs, resellers, furnishers, users, public record vendors, and others considered out of the FCRA’s reach. He also regularly litigates cases involving the DPPA, VPPA, CIPA, and additional federal and state statutory schemes that regulate the use or security of data. Ron leverages this national experience to help clients operationalize the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA) and similar privacy laws that followed.

Ron helps clients to navigate the ambiguities of the CCPA and make compliance decisions that are informed, well-reasoned, and align with their objectives. He is a trusted, go-to advisor throughout his clients’ business cycles and in connection with areas such as data aggregation and analytics, mobile applications, payment technologies, de-identification/anonymization, correlation of data from multiple connected devices, “connected-things (IoT),” and electronic crash and consumer-reporting systems.

Ron’s work in seminal data compliance and data use cases has helped to define the current standards in several areas of the law. He assisted one of the first companies required to provide notice of a data breach, and has since successfully defended companies in more than 200 class actions. Ron continues to provide clear-cut guidance as regulators seek to broaden their authority as well as the boundaries of existing statutory schemes like the FCRA to cover data analytics and usage.

Ron is a sought-after speaker and frequently publishes thought leadership on cutting-edge compliance developments. He is a Certified Information Privacy Professional.
