Overview
Lowenstein Sandler's Data Privacy, Security, Safety & Risk Management practice delivers end-to-end legal solutions through Data360, our strategic approach to managing data across the full life cycle of data-related challenges—from proactive compliance to crisis response and litigation defense.
We partner with organizations across industries—from emerging startups to Fortune 500 companies—to develop tailored strategies that meet legal requirements while supporting business objectives and fostering trust with customers, partners, and regulators. Our approach transforms data risk into competitive advantage by embedding privacy, security, and safety controls directly into business operations and product development lifecycles.
DATA360: OUR COMPREHENSIVE SOLUTION
Data360 is Lowenstein Sandler's integrated approach to managing data privacy, cybersecurity, safety, and risk. We provide more than a compliance program, we help clients develop a bespoke, strategic framework that embeds data governance into their operations, reduce risk, and unlock long-term value. Here’s how Data360 delivers:
Startup-to-Scale Expertise
Unlike traditional privacy practices that react to problems, we build scalable data programs from day one. Our team has helped hundreds of companies—from seed stage to IPO—embed privacy and security into their infrastructure, making compliance a strategic asset, not a barrier to growth.
Cross-Border Regulatory Harmonization with US Practices
Our attorneys hold advanced certifications (CIPP/US/E/AIGP) and are active participants in global privacy organizations. This way we work with international counsel to make your data practices more consistent across your operating jurisdictions.
Incident Response Leadership
Our team leads clients through high-stakes data breaches with the precision of seasoned responders. Our skill set goes well beyond our legal acumen: our technical proficiencies in data reflect our collective history as CISO, software engineers, and subject matter experts in technologies that support data structures. We bring exceptional experience from the front lines of incident response—including leadership roles in the FBI’s Cyber Division, the U.S. Attorney’s Office, States Attorney General, and elite crisis response units for massive data breach matters in the millions of records. From coordinating forensics and managing notifications to advising boards and engaging regulators, we deliver real-time guidance that protects reputations and minimizes liability.
Litigation-Tested Frameworks
Our compliance models are designed by lawyers who defend them in court. This litigation experience ensures that every privacy program we build is not only audit-ready but can also stand up to regulatory scrutiny, investigations, and real-world enforcement.
