About William Denny
I practice primarily in the areas of cybersecurity, data privacy and information governance, and am certified as a Certified Information Privacy Professional/US (CIPP/US) and Certified Information Privacy Manager (CIPM) by the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP). I have represented both public and privately held companies in a wide range of technology and intellectual property-related transactions, including counseling clients on compliance with cybersecurity laws, development of data security policies, contracting with cloud service providers, outsourcing of IT services, mergers and acquisitions, technology licensing, software development, sales of internet domain names, and website terms of use and privacy policies. I have litigated disputes over the interpretation and enforcement of many types of technology contracts, general commercial contracts and liability insurance policies; I have tried jury and non-jury cases in federal and state trial and appellate courts, before arbitration panels, and by use of other alternative dispute resolution techniques.Specialties: Cybersecurity, data privacy, commercial litigation, electronic discovery, information technology-related transactions, mergers and acquisitions, regulatory counseling, arbitration
