Data risk is business risk. Businesses today face increasing scrutiny from regulators, consumers, investors and business partners regarding the collection, use, transfer and protection of information. Stevens & Lee helps organizations turn privacy, cybersecurity and compliance obligations into practical business solutions that reduce risk, preserve trust and support growth.
Our team advises clients throughout the full lifecycle of data risk, including privacy compliance, cybersecurity preparedness, incident response, regulatory investigations, technology transactions, data licensing, AI governance and privacy litigation defense. We combine experience in privacy, cybersecurity, technology and intellectual property law to provide practical, business-focused guidance tailored to each client’s operational realities. We support organizations in a range of technology-enabled industries including:
Privacy, Cybersecurity and Regulatory Compliance
We advise organizations on compliance with federal, state and international privacy and cybersecurity requirements, including CCPA, CPRA, HIPAA, GLBA, FCRA, TCPA and GDPR. Our team develops and implements compliance programs, conducts assessments and helps clients navigate evolving regulatory obligations.
Cyber Incident Response
When cybersecurity incidents occur, speed and judgment matter. We act quickly to guide organizations through data breaches, ransomware events, business email compromise incidents, vendor breaches, regulatory notifications, investigations and crisis management efforts. We also help clients build incident response plans, playbooks and governance frameworks before an incident occurs.
Privacy Program Development
For businesses at every stage of maturity, we design and enhance privacy programs that align with business objectives and regulatory expectations. Our guidance covers data mapping, retention strategies, privacy impact assessments, policy development, employee training and website privacy compliance.
Litigation and Regulatory Investigations
We defend businesses in privacy and cybersecurity disputes, including actions under TCPA, CIPA, VPPA, BIPA, CCPA/CPRA, FCRA, GLBA and HIPAA-related claims. Leveraging our experience with the spectrum of privacy and consumer protection laws, our focus is to reduce exposure, protect business reputation and position clients effectively in litigation. We also represent clients in investigations, audits and enforcement actions involving the FTC, state attorneys general, OCR and other regulatory agencies.
Technology Transactions and AI Governance
Transactions that have transfers of sensitive information can elevate a range of privacy and data security risks. Our attorneys advise on SaaS agreements, data-sharing arrangements, software licensing, data commercialization, technology transactions, cybersecurity provisions, AI-enabled products and M&A diligence involving sensitive data and digital assets.
