Why Choose USLAW Data Privacy and Security Law Firms?

The importance of protecting personal, financial, health and other identifying information is at an all-time high and the risks and breaches seem to mount daily.  Attorneys in the USLAW NETWORK Data Privacy and Security Practice Group are knowledgeable in the various privacy and cyber rules, regulations and laws governing jurisdictions across the United States and around the world. They can identify the data protection laws applicable to your business and develop protective plans to enable you to comply with these laws and minimize your risk of a data breach.

If you do business, you depend upon electronic data, whether it is customer data or your own trade secrets or other intellectual property. Data destruction or theft can be devastating and the liability for breach of third-party data, like credit card data, can be extreme. And it’s not just the electronic filing systems that are at risk. Whether you store data on internal servers, remote servers or in the cloud, or in hard copy forms in a storage unit, there are inherent risks and effective safeguards that can be taken to protect data.

Attorneys in the Data Privacy and Security Practice Group lead their clients through the implementation of data protection plans and preparation of incident response plans, which can include advice regarding forensics, security, public relations and insurance.  They are experienced leaders in handling data breach investigations and forensic analysis to learn from incidents and respond to a government inquiry or private action claims. And they do all of this with established and proven cost-effective strategies.
