About Us

Integrated Legal Services for the Digital Age

Our Digital Solutions Team offers a one-stop resource for technology-related legal solutions with the flexibility to tailor the engagement to your needs. A collaborative approach allows us to anticipate issues from every angle and craft solutions that address the “big picture” of your digital initiatives. Whether you engage the entire team or choose to focus on a single area, you’ll receive integrated advice informed by our team’s 360° view of your business. In all cases, you can expect WBD's hallmark service, which represents our people-centric, practical approach to law and the value we place on long-term partnerships.

Privacy and Cybersecurity Compliance

We work with organizations of all sizes to develop global privacy and compliance programs and implement cybersecurity frameworks to protect critical business systems and maximize data assets and digital innovation. Our team includes longtime regulatory attorneys, former government officials, and information privacy professionals certified in the U.S. (CIPP/US) and Europe (CIPP/E).

Intellectual Property 

We offer full-service IP counseling, global procurement, and IP litigation services related to patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets. Our IP lawyers have experience managing international patent portfolios for software, AI, electronics, and other high-tech inventions. We also advise on the legal considerations of emerging technologies, including ownership of AI-generated content, database protection, and licensing of datasets and algorithms.

Technology Transactions

Our team represents companies in technology transactions, digital commerce, and corporate deals. We negotiate and draft the full range of tech-related contracts, including cloud services and SaaS agreements, software licensing, data sharing and monetization deals, outsourcing and IT services contracts, joint ventures, and strategic alliances. We also support digital M&A and investment transactions, helping clients buy or sell tech-driven companies and assets, conduct IP and data due diligence, and structure venture capital financings for emerging tech startups.

Litigation and Enforcement

We defend clients in disputes arising from technology misuse, consumer protection, and data privacy claims, as well as major cybersecurity incidents.  If a data breach or cyberattack occurs, we move quickly to manage incident response, interface with regulators (such as the FTC, State Attorneys General, or data protection authorities in the UK and EU), and defend against any ensuing class actions or claims. Our lawyers also represent companies in regulatory inquiries and enforcement actions related to data privacy, AI, and technology use, effectively “speaking regulator,” since many of our lawyers are former government attorneys.
