Jim’s practice involves board-level and enterprise-wide issues at the intersection of global cybersecurity, privacy, technology, and data initiatives.
Jim was one of the first lawyers in the United States to focus on the criticality of privacy and data management issues for global corporations. This immersion in technology and data matters motivated Jim to found both the Privacy & Data Security task force and the Cybersecurity Preparedness & Response Team, well before other firms realized these issues faced their clients.
