  • Demonstrated expertise in privacy law compliance, data breach response, and privacy diligence for corporate transactions.

  • Experience drafting and negotiating data processing agreements and privacy schedules in commercial contracts.

  • Strong academic credentials from a nationally recognized law school.

  • Excellent communication, analytical, and writing skills.
