Internet and Data Protection
Protecting the privacy and security of data is critical in
today’s Internet-centric business environment.
Our Global Internet and Data Protection group provides legal
advice related to the risks faced by organizations when collecting,
using and disclosing information, including personal information,
consumer information and intellectual property. With a wide
range of global capabilities, we assist companies in all sectors
with the constantly changing legal requirements around privacy,
data security, e-discovery and the Internet.
The Internet is also increasingly the biggest source of IP
infringements and theft, but there are many ways rights owners can
tackle illegitimate use of their rights online, depending on the
type of intellectual property right being used.
Our lawyers and professionals design and
implement compliance programs governing the collection, use,
protection, disclosure and management of data.
We help develop policies covering disclosures
required by law, including subpoena compliance, data protection,
incident response, breach notification, privacy and records
management. We also advise clients on internal and external
investigations and develop employee-use and anti-piracy programs to
combat the infringement or theft of intellectual property and abuse
of computer resources. When our clients develop new products
and services, we help them tailor risk-management strategies to
minimize potential liabilities before and after launch.
We also closely track pending legislation in
this area and understand the various public policy positions taken
by a diverse group of stakeholders.

attacks and global data privacy laws are being strengthened. A new
blog from SNR Denton's
Privacy and Data Security team, hosted by partners Nick Graham
and Todd Daubert, will stimulate discussion and help make sense of
