Mintz’s Privacy & Cybersecurity Practice, founded by Cynthia Larose, is a multidisciplinary group of more than 20 attorneys, a number of whom have certifications (CIPP/US and CIPP/E) issued by the International Association of Privacy Professionals recognizing facility with and knowledge of privacy and security processes and procedures. Our practitioners have broad experience related to technology, communications, health, antitrust, employment, and consumer protection. We regularly advise clients in relation to issues and risks presented by privacy and cybersecurity in corporate transactions, international business operations, and public policy development, as well as conduct privacy audits, gap analyses, and risk assessments. In the event of an incident, the team helps companies respond, and manage the investigation, mitigation, and resolution of any privacy and security breaches.
practice overview
Recently, the Mintz team assisted a client with an investigation into a major breach at a fourth-party service provider that impacted the client’s business, avoiding regulatory action against the client and obtaining full indemnification from the client’s service provider for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the breach. The team is also deeply involved with advising clients on establishing compliance programs for the new and evolving US privacy landscape, which includes laws in California, Connecticut, Colorado, Virginia, and Utah.
CLIENT EXPERIENCE
Cynthia has been an excellent partner to deal with. She’s very reasonable and business-minded. She’s able to take complicated topics, such as data privacy, and make them understandable. Cynthia and her team did a great job in helping us to understand [a] complicated regulation.

Elissa’s knowledge of municipal law, public advocacy, criminal law, school law, and policy is remarkable. She is very clear in her direction and is a valued adviser and counselor. She is always straightforward in her advice, and her counsel is spot on. When she has enlisted the assistance of another attorney in the firm, it is either to gain the nuances of specific statutes or in a task area that can be addressed by a firm member who can provide excellent service at a lesser hourly fee. It is one of her strengths to know when other attorneys in the firm should be called in to advise on contracts. She always has her client’s best interest in mind, including in financial terms.

Mintz’s Corporate & Securities Practice works with clients through the full business life cycle. Our transactional attorneys boast extensive experience in all stages of the capital-raising process, from start-up and venture capital funding to initial public offerings to continuing debt and equity finance needs, including private placements and public offerings. We advise clients on how to keep their businesses healthy by working to structure transformative licensing or partnership arrangements. And, when the time is right, we guide clients through buy-side or sell-side transactions.
The Corporate & Securities team focuses on ensuring that the transactional legal and business counsel delivered to clients is in tune with the client’s short-term and long-term needs — and that this counsel isn’t delivered in a vacuum. We incorporate insights from key areas across the firm as well as a keen understanding of the economic environment and market.

In the Appellate Practice Group, our capabilities include appeals at both the state and federal levels, as well as amicus curiae submissions to the United States Supreme Court. We continuously collaborate across practice areas, including securities and shareholder litigation, class action, employment, IP, white collar crime, bankruptcy, public finance, commercial law, health care enforcement defense, and telecommunications in order to provide our clients with a holistic, effective strategy in tackling their most complex business challenges.
In addition to our work on appeals for new clients who may be looking for highly skilled appellate attorneys to complement existing trial counsel, our attorneys in this area also focus on retaining existing litigation clients through the appellate phase of a case, which may include acting as “embedded appellate counsel” within existing trial teams in order to ensure the preservation of issues for an eventual appeal. This model ensures a streamlined and cost-effective approach to appellate representation for our clients, significantly reducing the amount of time it takes for our appellate team to get up to speed.

The team operates in many different industries, including life sciences and health care, financial services, hospitality (including casinos), and retail and consumer products for companies of all sizes, from Fortune 500 clients to not-for-profit organizations.
