Technology Law Practice Group

Internet of things. Wearable technology. Telemedicine. HIPAA. Right to be forgotten. GDPR. Data breaches. Spilman’s Technology Law Practice Group knows these are just a few of the areas driving the development of data security and privacy standards. At the same time, blockchain and distributed ledger technology, smart contracts, crowdfunding, e-commerce, and digital assets, such as cryptocurrencies, are disrupting traditional financing and ways of doing business. Businesses risk everything if they fail to keep up: reputational harm, government investigations, litigation, and even obsolescence.

Spilman’s Technology Law Practice Group brings together attorneys with deep experience in securities, intellectual property, banking, taxation, estates and trusts, government relations, health care, data privacy and security, corporate governance, regulatory compliance, and litigation to the area of emerging technologies.
