Balancing business insights and consumer privacy
From data gathering to data storage, from privacy by design to governance and legal compliance, all industries and sectors are faced with complex and often unsettled issues related to privacy. Companies see business opportunities that rely on gathering and harnessing personal data for a variety of purposes. At the same time, regulators, consumers, and plaintiffs’ counsel carefully monitor current business practices and technological changes to identify gaps in privacy protections. In this ecosystem, it is critical for businesses to understand their legal obligations as they research and develop new products, launch advertising campaigns, and deploy other innovations that rely on access to and use of consumer information.

Finnegan professionals draw from experience in industry and government as well as decades of working with leading innovators to bring a holistic and integrated perspective on privacy compliance, governance, and counseling. We leverage the spectrum of our practices in intellectual property prosecution, licensing, risk assessment, and litigation to deliver practical legal advice on specific and distinct issues, recognizing that the challenges, threats, and solutions are evolving, complex, and circumstantial. Expanding government regulation, developing case law, and reactive market perceptions must be addressed with informed insight and diverse perspectives. Working collaboratively, we counsel clients in regulatory investigations, litigate privacy matters, and represent our clients’ interests in class action matters. We also provide strategic counseling to assist in navigating the privacy landscape.
