The Eimer Stahl Global Data Privacy and Protection practice group combines the expertise of lawyers and technologists to represent clients facing lawsuits related to alleged data breaches and data and privacy protection laws. Advancements in technology have made it easier for companies to do business and to reach customers anywhere in the world, but countries around the globe have varying and sometimes incompatible data laws or regulations that can create significant compliance challenges and that require careful and creative strategic planning to navigate effectively. Our team helps clients understand and navigate the ever-increasing complexities of those multinational data privacy regimes. For example, we recently have counseled a major insurance company regarding data breach litigation prevention and a multinational electronics company regarding compliance with global data privacy and protection regulations. We also regularly defend companies against alleged violations of state data privacy laws, including BIPA and the CCPA.

Eimer Stahl’s Global Data Privacy and Protection Practice group is well-positioned to advise companies on data privacy issues, to prevent or defend data privacy litigation, and to serve as a Data Protection Officer. Working closely alongside our in-house eDiscovery solutions service EimerStahl Discovery Solutions llc (ESDS), led by Director Jen Polzer, we are able to help create critical workflows and best practices for effectively managing data for business and litigation purposes while complying with global data privacy laws and safeguards for our clients.
