Baker & Daniels' life sciences privacy and data protection professionals counsel and assist clients to develop strategies which comply with U.S. and foreign privacy and data protection regulations, including the management and remediation of privacy and security incidents that impact personal information and protected health information.
Among the many regulations with which many life science companies must comply, these companies are subject to the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH Act) adopted as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). The HITECH Act expanded the scope of existing requirements under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), created new obligations under HIPAA, increased the penalties for non-compliance with HIPAA and the HITECH Act, and stepped up related enforcement activities.
Baker & Daniels' professionals, who include a former Chief Privacy Officer of a company subject to HIPAA (with both in-house and consultative experience), have the depth of experience necessary to keep clients apprised of regulatory obligations and industry trends in this dynamic area of the law.
In addition to counseling on privacy and data protection issues, our professionals regularly counsel clients on how to implement enterprise-wide privacy programs, comply with any applicable global data transfer obligations and meet their other privacy challenges in a practical and sustainable manner.
