Cybersecurity, Privacy and Data Protection

Phelps has a multidisciplinary team of attorneys with the depth and breadth of experience, knowledge of the law and vision to help clients proactively identify and manage privacy and cybersecurity risks, including the implementation of effective privacy and security policies, employee training and internal enforcement mechanisms. By working closely with clients and understanding their specific business and industry needs, we help companies mitigate data privacy and security risks by implementing defensible practices and policies that can be incorporated into existing business practices. Our attorneys focus on cybersecurity preparation and response, privacy and security laws, data breach notification requirements, and electronic discovery to better serve clients in developing strategies for electronic data organization, protection, retention, and collection — both before and after a cyber incident — so clients are prepared to actively avoid, pursue or defend disputes in the most efficient way possible.

Our experienced litigators also bring high level skill to all forms of dispute resolution on behalf of our clients, and offer creative legal analysis and effective advocacy to address data privacy and security issues. In the event a client experiences a cyber incident or privacy-related issue, Phelps Dunbar is prepared to actively respond to the incident, ensure compliance with state and federal breach notification requirements, and aggressively represent its clients in any regulatory inquiries or litigation related to the incident.
