1. Privacy & Cyber Security: Counseling & Compliance Strategies
Regulators now expect organizations to design, build, and operate products and services with privacy and cybersecurity “by design.” Businesses must demonstrate not only compliance but also proactive risk management in order to maintain stakeholder trust.
At SJKP LLP, we partner with global enterprises to design privacy programs, implement secure data governance frameworks, and ensure compliance with an overlapping patchwork of laws such as:
- - U.S. federal and state privacy laws (HIPAA, GLBA, CCPA/CPRA, and state-level breach notification statutes).
- GDPR and UK Data Protection Act, which remain the global gold standard for privacy regulation.
- Emerging global regimes, including APAC, LATAM, and Middle Eastern data frameworks that increasingly mirror EU standards.
Our pragmatic, risk-based approach integrates these requirements into an operational compliance model that reduces liability, enhances consumer trust, and provides scalability for future regulations.
Key Areas of Focus
- - Global Regulatory Compliance: Guidance on multi-jurisdictional compliance strategies.
- Data Privacy Risk Management: Mitigating risks associated with the collection, storage, and processing of sensitive data.
- Data Governance & Protection: Establishing robust frameworks for accountability, transparency, and security.
2. Privacy & Cyber Securty: Regulatory & Litigation Defense
When enforcement or litigation strikes, companies require counsel with courtroom credibility and regulatory insight. SJKP LLP has a proven track record of:
- - Securing voluntary closure of investigations by U.S. federal regulators, EU Data Protection Authorities, and global agencies.
- Defending high-profile class actions arising from data breaches, consumer privacy claims, and allegations of cybersecurity negligence.
- Litigating cross-border disputes that involve parallel proceedings in multiple jurisdictions.
Our litigators are recognized for their ability to neutralize regulatory inquiries early, but when litigation is unavoidable, we bring trial-ready strategies to protect our clients’ business interests and reputations.
Defense Strategies
- Regulatory Inquiries and Investigations: Crafting responses that demonstrate compliance and mitigate escalation.
- Cybersecurity Litigation: Defending companies against claims following hacking incidents, ransomware attacks, and insider data theft.
- Negotiation with Regulators: Leveraging agency relationships and precedent to achieve favorable settlements or reduced penalties.
3. Privacy & Cyber Security: Cyber Incident Response
In today’s environment, a major cyber incident is not a question of “if,” but “when.” Our cyber response team provides 24/7 emergency support to clients facing data breaches, ransomware attacks, and other digital threats. We deliver just-in-time legal guidance to minimize liability, reputational harm, and regulatory fallout.
Immediate Response Services
- Crisis Management: Coordinating immediate legal, forensic, and communications strategies.
- Data Breach Investigation: Identifying the scope, impact, and legal obligations triggered by the incident.
- Regulatory Notification: Ensuring compliance with strict breach notification timelines under GDPR, U.S. state laws, and global regimes.
- Insurance Recovery: Advising on cyber insurance claims and maximizing coverage for incident response costs.
Our experience with ransomware negotiations, cross-border data transfers, and law enforcement engagement ensures that clients emerge from crises stronger and more resilient.
4. Privacy & Cyber Security: Data-Driven Transactions
Data is often the most valuable asset in today’s corporate transactions. Whether in M&A, private equity investments, or capital markets deals, data governance and cybersecurity risk can determine valuation and deal success.

The global privacy and cybersecurity landscape is shifting rapidly, with new risks emerging in artificial intelligence, biometric data, quantum computing, and cross-border data flows. Regulators are expanding their enforcement focus to include not just breaches, but also algorithmic bias, consumer consent practices, and ESG-related cyber disclosures.
Our team advises on these cutting-edge issues, helping clients prepare for regulatory developments before they materialize into enforcement risks.
