Ms. Jacobson assists clients with the design and development of privacy-sensitive policies for the collection and use of personal data.

The landscape of data privacy and cybersecurity law is continually evolving at a rapid pace to address new challenges. While privacy and cybersecurity are closely connected, they are different concepts. Data privacy focuses on the use of data and how that data is collected, viewed, and shared whereas cybersecurity is about protecting data from wrongful or exploitative attacks.
The concepts of data privacy and cybersecurity relate to every industry, including the practice of law. It's imperative that lawyers have a general understanding of the legal framework surrounding privacy and cybersecurity so they can spot issues when advising clients and also implement best practices, policies, and protocols in their own law office setting.
Listen as our authoritative speakers guide you through the fundamentals of privacy and cybersecurity and provide a framework for understanding risks and navigating compliance with the ever-changing legal and regulatory landscape.
