When identifying and managing privacy and cybersecurity risk is needed, James Denvil can help. He listens, assesses risk based on his familiarity with key legal frameworks and support from a global network of privacy and cybersecurity practitioners, and works with clients to develop tailored solutions that align with organizational culture.

James regularly advises clients on a range of technology and data issues, including global data transfers, privacy compliance programs, workforce monitoring, biometrics, big data, incident preparedness and response, electronic contracting, the collection and use of precise location data, online advertising, and data collection supporting highly automated systems.

He helps clients anticipate potential challenges by following legal and regulatory developments, and the positions of key academics and advocacy groups. He advises and has been invited to speak about implementing global solutions for workforce monitoring and other enterprise concerns; the privacy issues associated with artificial intelligence (AI), connected vehicles, and highly automated systems; the application of global privacy laws to U.S.-based organizations; and the impact of evolving privacy laws on the online advertising ecosystem.

James' passion for privacy and security issues was born during an internship at the Department of Homeland Security's Privacy Office. Since that time, he has leveraged the critical thinking and communications skills he honed as an adjunct professor of philosophy and theater to help his clients identify and operationalize practical risk-mitigation strategies. During law school, James served as editor-in-chief of the University of Baltimore Law Review and was a clerkship fellow for the MSBA-UB Business Law Clerkship Program.
