Overview
The CSG Law Tech, Privacy and Data Innovations Group has more than 25 years of experience representing innovators, investors, Fortune 500 companies, startups and emerging entities in the technology, data, advertising, and healthcare space.
Combining vision, market knowledge, and deep technology and data-driven innovation experience, we advise companies and innovators at all stages, from entity formation and structuring through early stages, growth stages, and profitable exits. Clients rely on us for advice in developing and protecting their intellectual property, capitalizing on new and emerging technologies, leveraging opportunities, managing risk, solving problems, and generating revenue. We facilitate client growth, development, and innovation, helping our clients transform ideas into reality and shaping their future.
Our lawyers regularly counsel investors with respect to venture capital, angel, and private equity transactions. We advise entities on capital raising and financing issues, corporate governance, data use agreements, and tech- and data-related corporate transactions. Handling both the buy and sell side in middle-market transactions, we represent strategic buyers and private equity and advise our entrepreneurial clients in connection with mergers, acquisitions, asset sales, and exit strategies.
Our team’s experience also includes representing both tech vendors and users in connection with technology development and tech and data licensing, outsourcing, distribution transactions, joint ventures, strategic alliances, cloud computing, and SaaS transactions. We represent clients in a wide range of sectors, including tech and software providers, data providers, advertising agencies, financial services, insurance, healthcare, and consumer products.
Clients across industries also rely on us for proactive guidance on best practices relating to privacy, cybersecurity, HIPAA and HITECH compliance and for crisis preparedness to best position them should a breach occur. We conduct privacy and information security due diligence and audits in day-to-day operations, outsourcing arrangements, and corporate transactions, as well as establish data breach incident response plans and best practices to identify and minimize risk.
Artificial Intelligence
CSG Law provides comprehensive legal services tailored to the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence (“AI”). As AI technology continues to revolutionize industries, businesses face increasing regulatory, ethical, and operational challenges.
CSG Law counsels clients in sectors such as technology, healthcare, data, and finance, that are developing AI technology. With a deep understanding of the intersection between law, technology, and business, CSG Law works with clients to unlock the full potential of AI while mitigating legal risks. CSG Law assists in drafting and negotiating contracts related to AI technologies, including vendor agreements, data-sharing agreements, licensing, and terms of service for AI products. The firm also advises on intellectual property rights related to AI models, algorithms, and datasets.
CSG Law provides in-depth analysis of AI systems and their compliance with data privacy and protection laws (e.g., GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA), anti-discrimination laws, intellectual property rights, and emerging AI-specific regulations such as the EU AI Act and U.S. federal guidelines.
Healthcare and Health Tech
At CSG Law, we have vast experience in providing strategic legal guidance for healthcare organizations, helping clients navigate the complex regulatory landscape from day one. Whether developing a new healthcare product, launching a telemedicine platform, or entering the healthcare services market, we guide our healthcare clients through compliance, risk management, and growth. Whether it’s negotiating with healthcare providers, insurers, or technology partners, we also advise clients with respect to contracts that align with business needs and comply with healthcare-specific requirements. We help our clients meet the intricate requirements of healthcare laws at both the federal and state levels, including HIPAA and state-specific healthcare standards. We guide clients through the full spectrum of healthcare regulations to avoid penalties and ensure operations remain compliant. We assist in identifying potential legal risks related to healthcare laws and work with clients to develop strategies to minimize those risks, from avoiding fraud and abuse violations to addressing emerging legal challenges.
As telehealth continues to grow, navigating the ever-changing regulations around virtual healthcare can be complex. We help clients stay ahead of the regulatory curve, from ensuring compliance with state medical board requirements to adhering to federal telemedicine laws.
Cybersecurity and Privacy
We understand the disruption that a cyber incident or breach can cause to a business and we guide clients through such occurrences, including those involving malware and ransomware, payment card fraud, malicious insiders, loss of physical devices, business email compromises, miswired funds, and unintended disclosures. We manage reporting to regulators, clients, and impacted individuals. We guide clients through the patchwork of federal, state, and sectoral privacy and cybersecurity laws and regulations that impact them, their customers, and their service providers.
