About

Provided by BCLP

Our Global Data Privacy and Security team is composed of lawyers across the United States, the UK and continental Europe who advise clients in a variety of sectors, including hospitality, consumer services, healthcare, software and technology, financial services, travel, manufacturing, and retail. We coordinate across multiple jurisdictions to work on achieving the most streamlined international data privacy strategy possible.

Privacy Advisory

We have extensive experience handling the full scope of complex privacy and security issues. Our work spans the full gamut of US and non-US privacy laws, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, state privacy and data breach laws, FTC and state law enforcement issues, as well as emerging laws and regulations around the world.

Incident Response and Preparedness

We have a world class incident response practice that has helped clients navigate major security incidents and data breaches, including ransomware attacks, O365 mailbox intrusions, malware, credential harvesting, insider threats, and inadvertent disclosure. We leverage that experience to help companies identify and remediate gaps in their readiness and to train companies how to respond to breaches effectively.
