Privacy & Data Security

Vault Law Resource Center

&lt;p&gt;Lawyers in this area advise business clients on cyber security issues, including internal security protocols, the collection and storage of personal data, and on how to respond to a data breach. While privacy lawyers are most often called into action in the wake of a data security breach, they also help their clients comply with regulations and counsel on ways to prevent data theft or loss. Lawyers may work on&#160; incidence response teams and can be called on to work long hours after a client’s data has been breached. Data privacy lawyers will also frequently be involved in claims, litigation, and regulatory investigations arising from data security breaches. This is a growing and changing area of law, so lawyers may be regularly dealing with unsettled law and must stay up to date on security technology and emerging threats to IT security, as well as rapidly emerging regulations and case law that can pose challenges to their clients.&lt;/p&gt;
