Data privacy and cybersecurity are issues inherently woven into intellectual property protection and technology. Your information—whether internally generated testing data or analytical collected from customers—is a key asset for your business, as it is used to foster development of new technologies, improve services, and drive innovation. Increasingly, international laws and regulations governing cybersecurity, privacy, and data management impact the collection, storage, and use of this information. The consequences for violation of these laws and regulations can take a significant toll, both financially and for your reputation.

MVS lawyers remain at the forefront of technology innovation and the data privacy and cybersecurity laws governing the same. Our attorneys help you strengthen compliance, identify required disclosures, implement security programs and develop response plans that minimize your risk – all while building confidence in your brand.

For example, we provide GDPR and CCPA compliance consulting for your website and your internal data management policies. We also work with you to draft disclosures and policies which satisfy the rapidly changing requirements for data privacy compliance. In addition to compliance consulting, we also provide insight and representation when you need to respond to an incident, such as a data breach.
