About

Provided by Perkins Coie LLP

Perkins Coie’s Privacy & Security group represents some of the world’s leading Internet companies, wired and wireless communications providers, brick-and-mortar retailers and emerging online businesses.

Data and security breaches are increasingly headline news and the current legal climate includes complex and nuanced rules governing the collection, use, storage, and disposal of information that vary by jurisdiction and is continually evolving. We work closely with our clients to help them stay abreast of national and international regulatory and statutory changes and industry initiatives related to mobile applications, online and mobile advertising, means of capturing location information, and cloud computing.

We regularly advise clients on how to implement "privacy by design" principles into their organizations, and how to best respond to law enforcement and civil requests for user information, sophisticated network attacks and other security breaches. Our data breach and network intrusion response team, including several former DOJ cybercrime prosecutors, regularly counsels clients with concerns about data breaches and assists with coordinating incident response and required notifications.

We help our clients respond to immediate issues and understand that it is never too late to address privacy and security matters.
