With new Canadian data breach regulations going into effect, the mounting reports of massive data breaches and the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation, a law firm can use an experienced data privacy attorney. That’s what Fasken got when Jennifer Stoddart joined the firm as a strategic adviser, bringing along her 10 years of experience as Canada’s privacy commissioner.

But Stoddart isn’t just known for her work as a privacy commissioner. In between Fasken and the commissioner role, she served on various boards and worked pro bono in the health industry. Stoddart also was involved in the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, an organization that aims to develop ways to protect personal information involved in Asia-Pacific region trades.
