Our attorneys have practiced in state and federal courts around the country at both the trial and appellate levels, and we have the skill and experience to handle your most sensitive and critical matters.
Privacy & Data Security

We consult with you to build out an information privacy program, conduct ongoing research and assessments to keep you on track, and counsel you through any incidents that do occur, including interacting with regulators and other affected parties on your behalf.
