The 2009 edition of Chambers USA: America's Leading Lawyers for Business recognizes the privacy and data security practice at Faegre & Benson as one of the best in the United States.

We counsel clients on data protection, privacy and security issues. We provide practical solutions to compliance with complex U.S. and international data protection laws.

An international team of 50 data protection lawyers in our U.S., E.U. and China offices collaborate with one another—and with a carefully selected network of data protection lawyers around the world—to provide full service and a global approach to our international and multinational clients.

Our lawyers counsel U.S. companies on privacy issues related to federal statutes and regulations, along with the myriad of state laws, including statutes on security breach notification and use of Social Security numbers.

Our practice covers privacy issues related to outsourcing, e-commerce, e-discovery, loyalty programs, employee data, joint ventures and strategic alliances, mergers and acquisitions, international transactions, and international data transfers. We represent clients in highly regulated industries, including financial services, securities, and health care. We also represent businesses in privacy-related litigation, and we advise with respect to security breaches and computer crimes.
