The compliance challenges and business risks related to personal data are significant and growing. With advances in technology, personal information is increasingly collected, stored, used, and shared. At the same time, the regulation of data use and security is increasing worldwide.

Hogan Lovells has one of the largest and most experienced Privacy and Information Management practices in the world, spanning the United States, Europe, and Asia. The group assists clients with all of their compliance challenges, creating international transfer agreements, drafting policies, and providing advice.

We are among the very few law firms that can help you achieve compliance both globally and in regard to specific national laws.

Our lawyers are conversant with local regulations, the laws affecting cross-border data transfers, and the laws regulating sectors that collect sensitive personal information, such as finance and health.

We represent clients in investigations and adversarial matters concerning the use of data, whether at the level of the EU data protection authorities, or before the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, Department of Health and Human Services, state attorneys general, or in private party litigation.

We play an important role in the development of public policy regarding the future regulation of privacy.
