Husch Blackwell's Data Privacy & Cybersecurity law team helps organizations leverage the value of their information assets while satisfying compliance requirements and controlling risk. Our data privacy lawyers possess insights and solutions enabling clients to achieve firmer control over their information while making meaningful progress toward long-term data security objectives.
Our team of data privacy & cybersecurity attorneys regularly counsel clients on complying with existing and emerging data privacy and information security laws, including the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA), the Colorado Privacy Act of 2023 (CPA), and state information security statutes. Clients also rely on our Byte Back blog for legal trends in data privacy and cybersecurity.
Our law firm helps safeguard clients against cybertheft and other unauthorized disclosures of protected information. We assess cybersecurity risks and provide best practices guidance for preparing for data security incidents. When data breaches are suspected, our team of Breach Response lawyers responds immediately to minimize damage to business operations and reputation.
Our team of data privacy lawyers advises on compliance with HIPAA, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, FERPA, TCPA, the CAN-SPAM Act, EFTA, FCRA/FACTA, COPPA and state privacy laws. We evaluate and develop information security compliance plans, conduct compliance training, and prepare and negotiate information privacy-compliant agreements. We also defend clients against litigation and regulatory investigations. We respond to Office for Civil Rights enforcement actions, often negotiating dismissals; litigation, including class actions; and Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) enforcement proceedings.
We are uniquely situated to advise colleges and universities on Education Privacy Law matters, including FERPA guidance.
The best time to assess risk, secure data and plan for a breach is before a cybersecurity incident occurs. Husch Blackwell helps clients guard against cybertheft, cyberextortion and other unauthorized disclosures of protected information. We assess cybersecurity risks and gaps, develop compliant and effective security controls, educate employees, assess cyberliability insurance coverage and establish defensible records retention plans.
When protected information is compromised or lost, our Breach Response attorneys move immediately to determine legal responsibilities and next steps in an effort to minimize damage. Our team has identified 10 channels of activity, from notification to insurance coverage, that must occur after a data breach. We guide clients in laying groundwork that will ensure these activities are handled with minimal confusion, cost, risk and delay during a rapidly unfolding, high-stakes breach crisis.
