Law firm Seyfarth Shaw L.L.P. has launched a global privacy and security team.
The GPS team will be made up of the firms’ lawyers who will work across legal disciplines and corporate industries to guide their clients in managing manage enterprise risk from regulatory compliance to cyber security, and in complying with laws and regulations related to data privacy and security, the Chicago-based law firm said Thursday in a statement.
The team’s expertise includes all U.S. federal and state privacy and information management requirements, compliance with all international data protection laws, data confidentiality and security issues that arise in vendor and technology transactions, and prevention and management of cyber events, from security planning and prevention of security breaches, according to the statement.
“Providing privacy and data security advice is not new for Seyfarth. We have been handling such issues for well over a decade, and we have a deep bench across various legal practices within the firm,” said Kate Perrelli, who led the formation of the team and chairs Seyfarth’s litigation department. “What is new, however, is formalizing the collaboration of our lawyers in this area — many of whom spend a significant amount of their practice exclusively in privacy and security law — to ensure that we are providing our clients with cross-functional solutions for their respective businesses.”
