June 01, 2023

Data privacy is one of the most rapidly changing areas of law as regulators and lawmakers are often playing catch-up to groundbreaking technologies that have transformed society in irreversible ways. This process has brought significant implications for businesses and corporate legal departments of all shapes and sizes, which must now retroactively incorporate various data privacy and cybersecurity considerations into their existing structures.
