Why Choose Otterbourg?

Data breaches don't wait for business hours. Neither does regulatory scrutiny. Otterbourg's privacy and cybersecurity group is a natural extension of a firm that has been advising New York's financial institutions, corporations, and business clients since 1909. The practice spans data breach notification, regulatory investigation defense, privacy policy compliance, cybersecurity risk management, and privacy litigation — and does so with the deep commercial context that comes from over a century in banking and corporate law. If your business handles sensitive customer data — and every business does — Otterbourg offers the combination of modern privacy expertise and long-proven commercial judgment that generalist cybersecurity firms simply can't match.

FAQ

Common Questions About This Firm

What New York data privacy laws does Otterbourg help businesses comply with?
Key New York laws include the SHIELD Act (Stop Hacks and Improve Electronic Data Security), which imposes data security and breach notification requirements on any company that handles New York residents' data. New York also has strict regulations for financial institutions (NYDFS Part 500) and healthcare organizations. Otterbourg advises on all of these, as well as federal frameworks (HIPAA, GLBA) and international regulations (GDPR) affecting NYC businesses.
What should a business do immediately after a data breach?
Act fast. Under New York's SHIELD Act, breach notification must occur "in the most expedient time possible." Immediately: contain the breach, preserve evidence, and call legal counsel. Otterbourg's privacy team can be engaged immediately to manage regulatory notifications, coordinate with cybersecurity forensics, and protect the company from further liability.
Does Otterbourg handle corporate acquisitions and M&A?
Yes. The firm's corporate group has handled M&A transactions across a wide range of industries, including technology companies where data privacy and IP due diligence are critical components of the deal. They represent both buyers and sellers.
Why choose Otterbourg over a larger national firm for data privacy?
Otterbourg offers boutique-level attention with deep specialization. You'll work with experienced senior attorneys — not junior associates — who understand your business in the context of New York's specific legal environment. The firm's century of commercial experience means privacy counsel is never disconnected from practical business judgment.
