Overview
Protecting Your Business in the Age of Consumer Protection and Privacy Requirements
Consumer privacy continues to be a top concern across all industries. Companies must comply with the patchwork of regulations, statutes, and caselaw that establish consumer protections. The failure to do so may lead to consumers’ claims as to collection, use, sharing, and retention of their information. At the same time, the laws around these consumer privacy protections changes at a frightening pace. Companies need a robust legal partner to navigate these requirements and challenges effectively.
We offer a comprehensive consumer privacy practice designed to advise and counsel businesses on compliance with consumer privacy laws and requirements.
Our Consumer Protection and Privacy Law Experience
Our team of seasoned attorneys has learned that an effective legal advisor not only needs to know what the privacy laws are, but also the legal theories being developed in litigation. Our practitioners with certifications in information privacy know that simply abiding by privacy laws at the international, national and state levels is not enough. Instead, our lawyers couple that knowledge with two decades of litigation experience, defending companies facing allegations of consumer “deception” or infringement of consumer privacy. We assist our clients with:
- Consumer Data Collection Practices: Advising clients on the terms, consent, opt-in, and disclosure requirements needed before collecting, using, or sharing consumer data
- Privacy Compliance: Advising businesses on compliance with the patchwork of state privacy laws, including artificial intelligence statutes, industry-specific regulations, federal statutes, and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
- Biometric Privacy Issues: Providing advice and counsel on disclosures, consent gathering, terms, and related obligations when recording employee or consumer activity and collecting what could be construed as biometric data under laws such as the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA).
- Data Breach Incidents: Representing companies in cases arising from unauthorized access to sensitive customer information, including personal identifiable information and financial data.
Our Approach: Privacy Risk Assessment and Data Protection Strategy
We understand that each consumer and data privacy case is not a one-size-fits all construct, even for companies of a similar size in the same industry. Our attorneys work closely with clients to scope the necessary assistance needed, consider business objectives and growth opportunities, and project the costs for our assistance. Our approach includes risk assessment and mitigation. We conduct a thorough assessment of potential privacy risks, including mapping your data collection, retention, sharing, and deletion practices across departments and employees. We also advise on right-sizing your approach to reduce and mitigate risk.
