Seyfarth Launches DATA Law Practice to Help Clients Navigate Digital Risk and Opportunity

January 28, 2026 – Seyfarth Shaw LLP today announced the launch of its DATA (Digital Asset and Technology Advocacy) Law practice, an innovative multidisciplinary offering that helps clients treat data as a strategic asset. The practice unites our existing privacy, cybersecurity, information governance and records, eDiscovery, data science & people analytics, and AI legal advisory into one cohesive framework with the objective of delivering future-ready solutions for organizations navigating an increasingly complex digital landscape.

As businesses accelerate their use of data as an asset, and expand integration of new technologies as value multipliers, traditional siloed approaches to data governance is no longer enough. Seyfarth’s DATA Law practice offers a holistic strategy that evolves with the pace of change, addressing global privacy compliance, litigation readiness, governance challenges, and the legal implications of AI. Seyfarth’s DATA Law practice delivers practical, evolvable counsel that empowers clients to navigate uncertainty and harness the power of data responsibly.

“Data has become the backbone of every business decision, and our clients need strategies that turn complexity into clarity and manage risk across legal disciplines,” said Lorie Almon, Seyfarth’s Chair and Managing Partner. “DATA Law was built to meet that demand, combining deep legal experience with technical fluency to deliver solutions that are agile, defensible, and business-aligned.”

The practice united a wide spectrum of client demands for which Seyfarth has and continues to be at the forefront:

• Privacy Compliance, Litigation & Cybersecurity
• eDiscovery Litigation & Readiness
• Records & Information Governance
• Data Science & People Analytics
• AI Legal Advisory

“Our clients are innovating in real time, and they need legal strategies that can keep pace,” Almon added. “DATA Law is about more than compliance; it’s about giving clients the confidence to innovate, safeguard their assets, and thrive in a rapidly evolving environment. DATA Law is a future-ready legal strategy that’s as agile and data-driven as the businesses we serve.”
