Privacy Compliance is a Legal Matter—Partner with Licensed Attorneys

Welcome – You’re in the Right Place for Expert Privacy Solutions

If you’re here, you’ve found the right partner to meet all of your privacy needs—no matter how large or small, or what your budget may be. Whether you’re a startup looking for foundational privacy support or a global enterprise navigating complex regulatory challenges, we can help.

 

We have worked with some of the world’s largest consultancies, including PwC and KPMG, as well as global corporations such as Target, Best Buy, Medtronic, AbbVie, 3M, and many more.

Many businesses overpay for non-legal privacy services, only to realize they need true legal counsel when regulatory scrutiny or legal challenges arise. Privacy compliance is a legal matter, and you deserve a licensed privacy attorney—not just a consultant.

 

Fractional Privacy Officer Services – Expert Legal Guidance for Your Data Protection Needs

The Carlson Firm provides Fractional Privacy Officer services tailored to your business needs. From contracting, legal strategy, PIAs, DPIAs, DSRs, and regulatory compliance, we are your trusted privacy partner—all for a low monthly fee that fits your budget.

 

Privacy Compliance is a Legal Matter – Work with a Lawyer, Not Just a Consultant

Privacy is more than just a compliance checklist—it’s a legal responsibility. Regulations like GDPR, CCPA, and the Minnesota Consumer Data Privacy Act carry serious consequences for non-compliance. Policies, contracts, and regulatory filings are legal documents that require an attorney—not just a consultant.

 

Why Choose The Carlson Firm

  • Licensed privacy attorneys, not consultants – Get true legal representation, not generic advice
  • Legally enforceable privacy programs – Ensure contracts and policies hold up under regulatory scrutiny
  • Attorney-client privilege and liability protection – Confidentiality and risk mitigation that non-lawyers can’t provide
  • Flexible subscription-based support – Scalable legal privacy services with no long-term commitment

Privacy Solutions Tailored to Your Business

We offer expert privacy and data protection services for startups, mid-sized businesses, and global enterprises. Whether you need ongoing support or a privacy tune-up, our legal team ensures your compliance framework is legally sound.
