Capabilities
King & Spalding’s Data, Privacy and Security (DPS) team counsels clients on a broad range of legal issues faced by multinational organizations, including global privacy programs, data protection and cybersecurity assessments, crisis management in responding to internal and external privacy and data security incidents, health information governance and compliance, and defending clients in regulatory enforcement proceedings and class action litigation. The team consists of “boots on the ground” crisis managers, technical professionals, former government lawyers, and litigators to manage and coordinate fast-moving and complex investigations and logistics during and after an incident. We assist clients with preparing for, responding to, and recovering from data privacy and security incidents.
