We solve problems with data
About
When people read our motto, “we solve problems with data,” the first thing they ask is whether that means that we solve problems that clients may have arising from the data that they collect, process, use, or sell, or whether it means that we use data to solve problems.
The answer is “yes.”
That’s because we have years of experience doing both of those things. Whether you need advice on Privacy, AI ethics and compliance, or eDiscovery, we can help you find the best legal solutions. But we can also help you use the data that you already have to solve those problems and more, by creating data inventories, mapping data workflows, or making sense of complex data systems.
They say that data is the new oil. Or the new black. Whatever. But one thing is clear, your company runs on data. So that’s where we start, with the data.
If you have problems with data, or that can be solved with data, or – most likely – both, give us a call. We’re here to help.

Privacy policy review and update
Is your company publicly-posted privacy policy complete? Has it been updated lately - because many of the privacy laws require periodic updates? Don't have one - or maybe just "wrote" one with ChatGPT (attorney-client privilege means I won't/can't tell anyone that!)? We can help.
Do privacy laws apply to my company?
There are 20 state privacy laws in the US . . . or maybe 21? Actually, some say it is 23. But whatever the actual number is, it is a lot. And they all have their own jurisdictional requirements. Need to know which privacy laws apply to your company? We can help, because we've built a technology-guided assessment just for that. So call us, stop worrying and start on your journey to privacy compliance.
