Healthcare Privacy and Data Security
We routinely help our clients address privacy, cybersecurity and electronic transaction issues, including under the US Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). These clients include both HIPAA-covered entities (health care providers and health plans) and HIPAA business associates (such as information technology firms and other service providers), as well as others indirectly affected by the privacy-related legal requirements. We also have extensive experience advising clients under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our work includes counseling on emerging risks relating to genetic privacy and transfers of data in large, global clinical trials.
