Data + Privacy

Our broadly resourced national team helps clients comply with the state, federal, and international directives associated with data governance and personally identifiable information (PII). We enable our clients to focus on their business objectives by helping them to adopt best practices.

We guide clients through the challenges associated with the collection, storage, and use of PII and other types of protected data. Our team has been on the forefront of technology and its impact on business for decades. We were involved with seminal data compliance and data use cases that ultimately helped define the current standards in several areas of the law. This experience informs the counseling work we do to ensure our clients comply with the FCRA, the DPPA, the VPPA, the TCPA, as well as their state counterparts. Most recently, we have counseled clients on operationalizing the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA). By relying on our knowledge of and experience with other federal and state privacy laws, we have enabled companies to navigate around the ambiguities of the CCPA and make compliance decisions that are informed, well-reasoned, and still in line with their business goals. This has helped our team become one of the most tech-savvy practices of any large law firm in the U.S. Clients appreciate the efficiencies that come with our ability to communicate as effectively with their IT professionals as we do with their executives.

We help clients balance the critical need to secure consumer and other data with market demand for improved customer and user experiences. We work in diverse industries and are particularly adept in highly regulated sectors such as financial services, data aggregation, energy, telecom, and insurance.
