Trusted by Fortune 500 companies and emerging innovators alike, our team advises on the full spectrum of regulatory obligations - from state and federal health care and financial services requirements to state privacy statutes, data broker regulations, wiretapping laws, and complex global data transfer and localization regimes, including the DOJ’s Bulk Data Security Program.

Healthcare and life sciences organizations managing and using sensitive health data
Global retailers and e-commerce platforms balancing personalization with privacy

Advisory and Compliance

Privacy compliance is a strategic imperative, not just a legal obligation. Our practice provides end-to-end legal counsel on data protection and privacy governance across every aspect of your business—from product design and customer operations to M&A transactions and cybersecurity.

Whether you are subject to GDPR, state privacy laws such as the CCPA, LGPD, PIPEDA, PIPL, or the next generation of privacy laws, we translate complex regulations into clear, actionable risk mitigation strategies tailored to your business, technology stack, and risk appetite. We operationalize data privacy compliance.

We build comprehensive privacy programs from the ground up or optimize your existing framework. This includes:

Privacy impact assessments (PIAs) and gap analyses against global privacy regulations
Privacy disclosures and updates to reflect actual data practices and legal obligations
Consent and transparency mechanisms designed for real experience
Data inventory and mapping to understand what you collect, why, and where it flows
International data transfer frameworks
Privacy-by-design advice for new products, services, and business lines
Vendor and processor management protocols ensuring third-party risk mitigation and accountability

Disputes and Litigation

Mintz’s Privacy and Cybersecurity team represents clients across industries in high-stakes privacy and cybersecurity disputes ranging from class actions and business disputes to government enforcement matters. The team includes first-chair trial attorneys as well as strategic litigators and enforcement attorneys. Relying on our in-depth understanding of technology, data, and data use, we routinely are called upon by clients in bet-the-company litigation involving data privacy matters, cybersecurity-related litigation, disputes involving data theft, IP infringement, and misuse, as well as AI-related litigation.
