With over 150 dedicated cyber, privacy and data law attorneys around the world, we can assist you every step of the way. Our highly-integrated, interdisciplinary and deeply collaborative team provides pragmatic, precise, risk-based and timely advice in light of current and emerging threats, regulations, judicial decisions and revolutionary technologies.
We can provide you with full spectrum, globally coordinated advice, and help future-proof your compliance needs against the rapidly changing regulatory and threat environment. We are always available in response to a data privacy or cybersecurity incident, and we are there at each phase to develop and operationalize privacy compliance programs. We can also design, adopt and roll out revolutionary new technologies, defend against regulatory inquiries, enforcement action and litigation, ensure appropriate cybersecurity and privacy due diligence, and create and negotiate data clauses and agreements, including for cross-border data transfers.
Our team is tech savvy and tech forward, but we are also steeped in the more traditional regulatory environment, especially within highly regulated industries like financial services and energy. Our team includes former regulators, and drafters of key US cybersecurity legislation. This approach, combined with our global reach, is why many of the world’s most dynamic and successful companies rely on us for privacy and data security legal advice.
Our global lawyers can help you with all aspects of data privacy and technology law. Notable experience in this field includes:
- designing and operationalizing breach response policies and procedures to cover over 24 global jurisdictions, including the 50 US states, Puerto Rico, the UK and the EU, as well as proactively advising on privacy and security for the development of advanced new products for a Fortune 50 publicly traded technology company
- serving as North American and International cybersecurity counsel for a Fortune 50 oil & gas major (including advising on global breaches and compliance with TSA Security Directives on Critical Pipeline Cybersecurity) and as preferred cybersecurity and privacy counsel for a global Fortune 500 chemical company including multijurisdictional privacy matters related to the integration of a newly acquired business into its global operations
- advising insurers, investment companies, banking and other financial services corporations and their boards regarding the effectiveness and regulatory acceptability of their cybersecurity/privacy programs and policies, their new product launches, data sharing and vendor supply chain approaches, and enforcement action and related claims handling including with the New York State Department of Financial Services; UK, EU, Hong Kong and other global privacy and financial regulators
- creating globalized data processing terms (including for cross-border transfers) for use in over 35 jurisdictions plus the 50 US states and Puerto Rico for a global automotive financing company, and developing intragroup data sharing and transfer risk assessment approaches for clients in consumer, technology, life sciences and other sectors

At Eversheds Sutherland, we understand that if a legal approach does not meet your business needs, it is not a solution.
The Eversheds Sutherland team is phenomenal to work with. Their attorneys have blown me away. While they have brilliant minds, they set themselves apart by understanding the business and more importantly the culture of our company.
