Almost every company now collects personal data. A patchwork of state privacy statutes, sector-specific federal rules and foreign regimes reaches average businesses that can result in the basis of a regulatory investigation, fines, or a class action lawsuit.

GS2Law represents clients across a spectrum, from start-up software providers in the healthcare and technology sectors to established ecommerce platforms. Companies at that stage rarely have time for a lengthy audit before they can answer a customer questionnaire or respond to a demand. Our attorneys appreciate the value of our clients’ time and utilize proprietary methods that quickly identify a client’s data diagnostics and needs. That intake gives GS2Law an accurate picture of what a client actually collects, uses, and shares, so the advice that follows addresses real exposure rather than hypothetical risk, and legal spend stays proportionate to it.

Compliance

GS2Law attorneys track the rapid evolution of data privacy legislation across the United States and abroad, including the nuanced overlaps among regulations governing health data. Having worked with clients whose operations, collection practices, and concerns differ widely, we offer bespoke guidance on website development, integration, and tools such as chat bots and GPC signals, along with tracking technologies and required cookie banners. The firm regularly creates scalable guidelines for data subject requests, opt-outs, and general privacy policies, grounded in a client’s actual data diagnostics rather than a one size fits all approach.

Contracts

GS2Law reviews contracts at nearly any point along the data pipeline, including software developer agreements, software as a service and platform as a service agreements, website terms and conditions, data processing agreements, and business associate agreements. Data ownership and licensing provisions carry real commercial value, and our attorneys negotiate them from either side of the table, whether a client sits in the provider seat or the customer seat.

Dispute Resolution

Class action threats routinely target website owners of every size. GS2Law tracks developments under the California Invasion of Privacy Act and comparable statutes closely and gives clients practical, cost-effective options for resolving claims before they become full lawsuits. As clients place increasing value on data, source code, trade secrets, and other proprietary information, our attorneys also handle computer fraud claims and disputes involving rogue software developers.
