Protect Trust & Unlock Data Value
Data is one of the most valuable business assets. It is also one of the most heavily regulated. We help our clients build privacy, cybersecurity, and data governance programs that protect what matters and support how they operate, grow, and go to market.
Our team brings deep regulatory experience, IAPP-certified privacy professionals, and years of in-house and Big Law backgrounds to every engagement. We work hand-in-hand with product, security, engineering, marketing, and legal teams to operationalize complex requirements across U.S. state and federal laws, the GDPR, and the evolving global regulatory landscape. Our clients range from Fortune 500 companies to early-stage startups across technology, consumer, hospitality, education, healthcare, financial services, and other industries.
We advise on the full lifecycle of data protection: building compliance programs from the ground up, drafting and negotiating commercial contracts and data processing agreements, product counseling, developing public-facing privacy policies and notices, internal policies, managing vendor risk, structuring cross-border data transfers, and preparing for and responding to security incidents. For companies pursuing growth, investment, or exit, we also provide transaction-focused data diligence, C-suite and board training, legal audits, remediation planning, and insurance review.
As companies adopt AI and other emerging technologies, data strategy becomes inseparable from product strategy. We counsel clients on permissible data use, AI governance, biometric compliance, and the regulatory frameworks shaping how new technologies reach the market. We work closely with colleagues across GTC’s practice groups, including Artificial Intelligence, Mergers & Acquisitions, Technology Transactions & Licensing, Corporate Governance & Strategy, and Open Source Software, to deliver integrated guidance when data protection intersects with broader business and technology strategy.
Our work extends beyond domestic borders. We advise multinational companies on international privacy obligations, cross-border transfer mechanisms, and coordinated compliance strategies across jurisdictions, drawing on a network of global privacy counsel when local expertise is needed.
We believe that well-designed data protection programs do more than reduce risk. When legal, product, and business teams are aligned on data strategy from the start, organizations bring products and services to market faster, smarter, and with confidence.
