W. James Denvil

James regularly advises clients on a range of technology and data issues, including global privacy governance, incident preparedness and response, workforce monitoring, electronic contracting, digital advertising, and public policy initiatives supporting innovative information use and sharing practices.

He helps clients anticipate potential challenges arising from legal and regulatory developments. He advises clients and is a frequent speaker on 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 developed a passion for privacy and security 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.
