The national Data Privacy and Cybersecurity Practice at McDonald Hopkins is uniquely positioned to provide a wide range of support for clients, advising on best practices for data privacy, security, storage and disposal. Our team of attorneys specialize in coaching clients through the myriad of rapidly changing state, federal, international and industry privacy and breach notification laws and standards, drafting and implementing proactive measures and employee training. Our experienced team also provides client support during investigations by state and federal regulators. We have significant experience in litigation prosecution (indemnification) and litigation defense (single plaintiff and class action). That experience, together with the skilled business litigators and technology law experts at McDonald Hopkins, provides for a wide range of support for our clients dealing with these issues on a daily basis.

Two attorneys from McDonald Hopkins will be among the panelists at the NetDiligence Cyber Risk & Privacy Liability Forum, including:

James J. Giszczak, Chair, McDonald Hopkins' Data Privacy and Cybersecurity Practice, will be one of the forum's conference chairs, and will moderate a panel on Data Breach and Coverage Litigation on Thursday, June 12, as well as a session titled Intellectual Property: Threats, Valuation and Protection to open the final day of the forum on Friday, June 13.

Dominic A. Paluzzi, Attorney, McDonald Hopkins' Data Privacy and Cybersecurity Practice, will be a panelist on the Small Entity Cyber Liability workshop on Thursday, June 12.

Our experienced attorneys keep clients informed about the rapidly changing data privacy and security environment in which complex privacy laws must be understood and followed. Whether discussing the fallout from Target's data breach, who enforces data security protections, navigating HIPAA compliance, or submitting a statement for the record to congress regarding state data breach notification laws, we stay current on the key issues in cybersecurity. You can also join in on the discussion with our attorneys by visiting the Data Privacy Group on our Business Advocate website.
