Adam V. Griffin

Adam Griffin’s practice focuses primarily on civil litigation, including large and complex cases for national clients. He also handles secured transactions, construction and risk management services. Adam represents several educational institution clients in both litigation and transactions and works with school districts on a host of issues at the intersection of law and technology.

With a background in insurance coverage litigation and a technical knowledge base — including an undergraduate degree in business information systems — Adam is well-positioned to counsel clients on matters in the cyber liability and data privacy and security fields. He helps them with a spectrum of internet and information technology issues, including: policy and procedure preparation and review, regulatory compliance, incident response planning and management, audit and investigation oversight, breach prevention and litigation.

Adam achieved a key industry benchmark for privacy and data protection upon receiving the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP) designation as a Certified Information Privacy Professional/United States, a certification program accredited by ANSI/ISO. Adam’s CIPP/US status demonstrates the depth and breadth of his understanding of privacy laws and regulations.

Given the proliferation of data and technology in virtually every aspect of life and business operations, he expects to further develop his work on data security and data privacy issues and expand his representation in this area across a wide continuum, including financial institutions and new corporate clients.

Adam has earned the ANSI-accredited Certified Information Privacy Professional (CIPP/US) designation through the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP).
