Advisori understands that finding well-experienced privacy counsel is becoming increasingly difficult as privacy laws and regulations are proliferating around the globe and there are few attorneys with substantive privacy law experience. Our founding mission is to provide corporate legal departments with the best and brightest privacy lawyers via a business model focused on the delivery of high-quality services at lower costs to our clients. We are able to do this because our people are focused on one thing: data privacy and protection.

Because we specialize in data protection and privacy, our attorneys have deep legal experience with global privacy regulations like the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and US state privacy laws including the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) and the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”). Moreover, we have worked in multiple industries including hospitality, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, technology, and many others. And, unlike legal staffing agencies, Advisori attorneys are a part of the Advisori team. Our attorneys benefit from weekly supervision from a senior privacy attorney manager; we have a massive index of privacy legal research and privacy-related artifacts, and our attorneys receive ongoing privacy law education and training.
