Jimerson Birr provides a broad scope of services aimed at guarding and protecting companies both before and after a data breach. From a prevention standpoint, our firm assists companies in developing data privacy practices and protocols through comprehensive assessments, training, policy implementation and response planning. Our proactive approach to data privacy minimizes the risk of data breach and ensures your company is ready to reach if (read: when) your data has been compromised.

From a responsive standpoint, our lawyers assist companies facing unwanted regulatory investigations, media attention, client or third-party demands, and litigation; conditions that necessitate thoughtful, yet swift reaction. Our lawyers assist companies in determining the cause and breadth of the breach, assessing regulatory compliance requirements, managing notifications and conducting after-breach data management triage.
