Our privacy and data security services help health care clients prepare for risks, protect sensitive data, respond to data breaches and defend against potential litigation. We work with clients across the health care ecosystem to create an environment of privacy-by-design and develop written information security programs (WISPs) that meet current requirements. When an event occurs, we can provide immediate advice on threat assessment, data preservation and the likelihood of material breach that may be subject to additional statutory or regulatory requirements. We can also counsel on stopping, reversing or otherwise mitigating financial loss and addressing possible reputational risks.

We offer clients in the life sciences industry a comprehensive suite of services tailored to accommodate their distinct business, intellectual property and legal needs. Our team advises developers, investors and financial intermediaries across all stages and facets of company development. We handle quick turn-around due diligence projects, protect our clients’ IP assets while policing the activities of their competitors, and help innovative companies execute bold portfolio management strategies on a global scale.
