ABOUT JENNIFER HENNESSY
I advise clients, ranging from multinational corporations to startups, on all aspects of compliance with international, federal, and state data privacy and security laws, including HIPAA, 42 C.F.R. Part 2, CCPA, and the GDPR. I frequently guide clients through data incident management and the entire breach notification process - my depth of experience in this area allows me to provide clients with practical and business-oriented solutions in the event of a data incident and in its aftermath. I started my career as a health law attorney, giving me particular insight into the data privacy and security issues that impact organizations in the health care space.
