Is it just me, or has Big Data suddenly gone viral? Holland & Knight just announced it is launching a new data privacy and security unit, led by partners Christopher Cwalina and Steven Roosa, who left Reed Smith to take on the new task. Its unit will be part of the firm’s public policy and regulation group.
Then, Legal affiliate Law Technology News received a press release from Hunton & Williams’ Centre for Information Policy Leadership, which has launched a new multi-industry “Ethical Analytics” program “to highlight the benefits and directly address the risks raised by analytics in the age of big data by developing voluntary guidelines for their responsible use by organizations.” (The firm has 800 lawyers in 19 offices in the United States, Europe, and Asia.)
