Privacy & Data Protection

We help clients navigate evolving privacy laws and safeguard sensitive data, providing strategic counsel to manage risk, ensure compliance and protect reputation.

Ongoing changes in the accumulation, storage and use of personal data, whether by government, employers, financial institutions, health care providers or the data subjects themselves have given rise to new and more serious privacy concerns. Recent changes to privacy laws, varying standards internationally and one reported crisis after another have forced business, government and the public to seek guidance on managing the precarious balance between safeguarding personal privacy and third-party interests in acquiring and using personal information.

Bennett Jones performs groundbreaking work with governments, employers, institutions, device providers and public and private information-gatherers, advising on the far-reaching legal implications of privacy regulation, data protection and data dissemination.
