Privacy and Identity Theft Issues
McDermott clients are increasingly responsible for huge volumes of confidential personally identifiable information. In view of the almost daily reports of private information being pilfered and increasing government regulations, it is essential that businesses seek to protect themselves from economic loss, bad publicity and future actions. Our lawyers understand the applicable laws and regulations such as HIPAA, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley safeguard rules, the EU Directives and corresponding national and state laws. Using the skills of our legislative group we also closely monitor pending legislation. Our lawyers keep close watch on the reported breaches of data security, corresponding law suits and U.S. Federal Trade Commission investigations. The following are examples of the type of work McDermott’s lawyers have done on behalf of those clients concerned about the privacy and security of data.
