About

Provided by BMA Advogados

BMA’s Data Privacy and Cybersecurity practice area focuses on solving problems and responding to situations that involve the most valuable asset in today’s world: data. We know how important these questions are to organizations of all kinds, and that’s why we have put together a highly specialized team, chosen for their knowledge of technology and information security as well as the law, who are fully dedicated to helping our clients address the complex challenges brought about in recent years by forced digitalization and doing business in a digital environment.

Our team has practical experience in responding to adverse scenarios and managing crises caused by security incidents and cyberattacks, including ransomware cases. We give our clients the support they need at critical moments, monitoring forensic investigations, preparing response and communications strategies, interacting with regulatory agencies and data subjects, and representing their interests in administrative, judicial, and arbitration proceedings.
