Our Privacy & Security practice works with major corporations worldwide to help them comply with data privacy and security regulatory obligations, assess the status quo and draft strategic plans and best practices for outsourcing transactions and cross-border data transfers. We advise on developing data breach notification policies and procedures and other security and privacy compliance enterprise management. Our practice regularly counsels corporations on their obligations and risk exposure in the event of a data breach and effectively represents clients in the event such breaches are brought to court.
Global companies must comply with multiple labor and employment, health, and employee personal information laws and statutes that address employee privacy issues. Mayer Brown helps our clients doing business around the world establish corporate guidelines for complying with such significant US statutes as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and related state laws. We also advise clients on the range of European directives covering such issues as the transfer of employee data, recovery of personal data in ligitation, and staffing sourcing transactions under the Acquired Rights Directive (ADR).
Our lawyers offer clients a business-minded and results-driven approach based on their experience in financial services regulatory enforcement, intellectual property, outsourcing and information technology, and labor and employment law. Our team has successfully defended clients in class actions, private lawsuits, and privacy investigations brought by the FTC, and regularly offers advice on pre- and post-security breach responses.
