Data & Privacy

Bill Samuels and Kristin Garris in the Warshaw Burstein intellectual property group are members of the International Association of Privacy Professionals and have long experience with data privacy compliance matters in the United States and around the world. Their work covers the European Economic Area’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), New York’s SHIELD Act, California-specific laws including the California Consumer Privacy Act and California Online Privacy Protection Act, along with other state and federal regulations and laws.

The team has drafted numerous tailored privacy policies for companies in various industries, from social media and e-commerce platforms, to international hospitality services organizations. The key is they work to implement effective compliance plans in the markets where clients do business. In coordination with counsel in jurisdictions around the world, the group stays abreast of compliance issues in the US and abroad, drawing on those resources to ensure compliance and to achieve client goals.
