Winthrop & Weinstine provides a wide range of data privacy and security legal services as cybersecurity threats mount around the world. With data breaches making headlines, Winthrop & Weinstine’s Data Privacy, Cybersecurity & Artificial Intelligence (AI) Practice helps clients navigate the most complex and most current data privacy legislation and regulations, including global privacy regimes such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), to manage their data privacy and cybersecurity risk.
Our experienced team of attorneys combines up-to-date legal acumen with the technological know-how to provide successful cybersecurity solutions. Members of our practice include attorneys recognized as Certified Information Privacy Professional/United States (CIPP/US), Certified Information Privacy Professional/Europe (CIPP/E), and Certified Information Privacy Manager (CIPM). In addition, our interdisciplinary team advises clients on the full range of matters that may arise in relation to data privacy and security, spanning counseling, regulatory compliance and enforcement by regulatory authorities, as well as litigation, should it arise.
Our team of experienced data privacy professionals work closely with clients on the front end to develop policies and procedures to enhance and protect security, reduce risk, and assess preparedness should a data security incident occur. We advise clients on the appropriate ways to collect, maintain, and use data for their businesses while still complying with the many-and-increasing data privacy laws in the United States and globally.
Privacy laws apply to nearly everyone who controls personal data – including your business. With the alphabet soup of state, federal and international laws, often with overlapping and different requirements, it can be challenging to keep up with all of the compliance needs. Our team is well-versed in these laws, and advises clients on appropriate protection of personal information, protected health information, and other private data under those laws. In addition, we guide clients who may be the subject of investigation by regulatory authorities, whether they have experienced a breach or not. We help clients respond to requests and interact with regulatory agencies, relying on our extensive experience that includes time working in the Attorney General’s office, as well as before a wide range of agencies, and the knowledge of strict policies and procedures that come along with audits and complaints.
