Data Privacy & Cyber Security Team
Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner’s Data Privacy and Cyber Security team are located across the United States and Europe and advise clients in a variety of sectors including manufacturing, software, travel, financial services and retail.
We focus on one thing – helping our clients utilise data to increase opportunities and enhance user experience, all while decreasing corporate risk.
Our team has experience handling the full scope of privacy and security issues. In the context of data privacy we advise clients on privacy and data protection programs, data sharing and international mobilisation of data, policies, and procedures, complex transactions involving monetisation and licensing of data, conduct gap assessments to align compliance with international privacy standards, respond to regulatory investigations and inquiries, and defend companies in courts and before government agencies in enforcement actions.
In the context of data security, we have a world class data breach response practice which has responded to nearly a thousand significant breaches or incidents. We leverage that experience to help companies identify gaps in their readiness to respond to a breach, and to train companies on how to respond to breaches effectively. Should an incident occur, BCLP’s 24 hour hotline connects clients directly with experienced attorneys who will guide our clients through all aspects of breach response, from investigation to notification to regulatory investigation or litigation. Our experience and practical approach to data breach response uniquely equips us to assist organizations by understanding both the law and the business implications of data breaches.
We regularly coordinate advice across multiple jurisdictions for clients looking to achieve as streamlined an international data strategy as possible.
