Data, Strategy, Privacy + Security
Data is the lifeblood of modern business—and one of its greatest risks. Our Data Strategy, Privacy & Security Group helps companies harness the value of data while navigating legal, technical, and regulatory challenges. Our clients span technology, media, gaming, health, retail, financial services, consumer products, and other data-intensive industries. We combine regulatory and litigation insight, technical fluency, and deep advisory experience to deliver solutions that are practical, informed, and forward-looking.
Data Strategy, Privacy + Security Counseling
We are recognized for privacy, security, and AI advice that works in practice—not just on paper. Our team designs governance programs, conducts audits and risk assessments, and trains boards and executives.
We counsel on opt-out rights, disclosures, and platform requirements such as Apple’s ATT, and guide companies through high-risk data issues in health, finance, children’s privacy, and biometrics. We also advise on advertising technology, cross-border transfers, and emerging AI regulation, including risks in automated decision-making and biometric systems. Our advice reflects how regulators and courts actually interpret the law, and we also prepare clients for the unexpected by developing tailored incident response strategies.
We negotiate the contracts that drive today’s data economy, from SaaS and licensing deals to clean room and identity resolution agreements. We are among the few firms with hands-on experience structuring training data agreements for large language models and other AI systems, advising both developers and enterprise adopters. We also help clients unlock the value of their data through APIs, benchmarking, marketplaces, and targeted advertising—while ensuring compliance with de-identification and anonymization standards. With both deal experience and technical fluency, we enable clients to innovate and monetize responsibly, without sacrificing trust.
Data Strategy, Privacy + Security Litigation
When disputes arise, we defend clients in class actions, mass arbitrations, and enforcement matters under privacy, security, and consumer protection laws. Our litigators are at the forefront of claims involving online tracking, wiretapping statutes, and sensitive datasets. We were among the first firms to secure public CCPA settlements, and we continue to represent clients in complex FTC and state attorney general investigations—many resolved quietly and without publicity. Our deep experience with novel privacy claims, and our credibility with opposing counsel, allows us to resolve matters efficiently while shaping favorable outcomes. This combination of enforcement insight and litigation strength gives our clients a clear advantage when the stakes are highest.
