Privacy Governance and Compliance
I translate complex regulatory frameworks into practical business solutions that help clients navigate the evolving landscape of privacy and cybersecurity laws. I provide clients with guidance related to regulatory compliance, cross-border data transfers, data protection contracts, and privacy and cybersecurity policies.
I’ve worked with clients across a wide range of industry sectors to develop, enhance, and maintain comprehensive data protection programs tailored to specific geographic and industry mandates. This experience includes advising entities in life sciences, financial services, fintech, e-commerce, retail, entertainment, and private equity, among many other sectors.
Data Breach Response
From the first hours of an incident through forensic and government investigations, I help clients navigate data breach response—collaborating with them to craft clear, practical escalation plans, draft stakeholder notifications, and identify and mitigate the risk of future breaches.
Life Sciences
Given the sensitive nature of the personal data that life sciences companies process and the complex jurisdictional requirements they face, I often help clients in the sector navigate cybersecurity and data privacy challenges. From startups coordinating clinical trials to companies with established products on the market, I create programs that are tailored for safeguarding a wide range of critical information in this environment.
Artificial Intelligence
I help clients design compliant AI products, manage the data risks posed by those innovations, and anticipate enforcement trends—turning shifting requirements into actionable guidance that aligns technological breakthroughs with legal guardrails, accelerates go
