Cybersecurity And Privacy
The firm’s Cybersecurity and Privacy practice group is an interdisciplinary team handling a wide range of complex matters including data breach response, planning, cyber insurance coverage, regulatory interaction, compliance, and litigation.
When a cyber incident occurs, there is no time to get up to speed on technology concepts. The firm’s Cybersecurity and Privacy team includes a former software developer and chair of the Arizona State Bar Technology Committee who can assist on a 24/7 basis.

- Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH)
