Safe, secure legal counsel

Our Compliance & Incident Response attorneys work with clients to ensure compliance with data security and privacy laws and to prepare for data breaches before they occur.

Compliance and Pre-Breach Services
When it comes to data security and privacy, the best defense is a good offense. Our team works with clients proactively to develop the right policies and procedures, and to conduct the right training, to better protect their business and ensure legal compliance. Our work in this area includes advice and counseling on compliance with data security and privacy laws; review and preparation of written policies and procedures, including incident response plans; execution of table-top exercises; presentation of workforce training; and drafting and negotiation of vendor contracts.

Data Breach and Incident Response
When an organization experiences an actual or potential compromise of data security, it faces a number of legal requirements to investigate and respond, typically in a very short time. As a NetDiligence® Certified Breach Coach law firm, FMG is approved panel counsel for many insurance carriers and has experience advising businesses and local governments in thousands of data security incidents around the country and involving all types of data.

We provide comprehensive legal counsel in response to a data breach, including advising clients during the investigative process to determine the nature and scope of the breach and then formulating the best strategy for a response. We advise clients on compliance with notification laws and help prepare required communications to affected individuals, customers, and employees. Following an incident, we also represent clients in response to state and federal regulatory investigations or other administrative or legal actions that may be brought. Our goal is to help minimize the impact the breach has on your business and the potential for any legal exposure.
