Privacy and data security stopped being a back-office concern the moment regulators started writing real penalties into the law and attackers started treating your data as inventory. Because our attorneys have built and shipped software, we understand how data actually moves through your systems, which makes our privacy advice something your engineering and product teams can put into practice instead of file away.
Building Privacy Compliance Programs
A privacy program only works if it reflects how your product collects and uses data. We map your data flows, then build the policies, notices, consent mechanics, data-subject-request workflows, and recordkeeping you need under the GDPR, CCPA, CPRA, and the growing list of state privacy laws. We help you decide where to standardize across jurisdictions and where to tailor, so compliance scales with your product rather than fighting it.
Data Security and Vendor Risk
Good security cuts both your breach risk and your legal exposure. We advise on security policies, data retention and minimization, encryption and access controls, and the security commitments you make to customers and regulators. We also draft and negotiate the data-processing and security terms in your vendor contracts, so the third parties touching your data are held to the same standard you are.
Breach Response and Defense
When an incident hits, the first hours matter and the clock on notification deadlines is already running. We quarterback the response: directing forensic investigators under privilege, sorting out which state, federal, and international notification obligations apply, drafting notices to individuals and regulators, and defending the litigation and enforcement inquiries that can follow. You get clear decisions fast, not a memo full of maybes.
