Overview
Data security and privacy have become increasingly important areas of the law as governments, businesses and other organizations collect, transmit, and store vast amounts of confidential and personally identifiable information. The risks associated with those practices are well-established and high-profile cases of data breaches, including the unauthorized access to private consumer and employee information, have become almost commonplace. Within this environment, businesses are faced with a veritable patchwork of often confusing and conflicting privacy laws and data security regulations that present serious compliance challenges and costs. Bressler’s Data Security team counsels clients on all aspects of data security and information management issues, from regulatory compliance and preventative strategies to responding to data breaches and managing resulting civil litigation and regulatory inquiries.
