Whether you're a startup, mid-sized business, or large global enterprise, we offer tailored packages to meet your needs. Start with any option, upgrade as needed, and cancel anytime. After three months, receive a complimentary Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) for a system, product, or company.

We understand that managing privacy, compliance or legal tasks, maintaining compliance, and staying up-to-date with privacy regulations can be overwhelming for businesses. That’s why we offer solutions to offload tasks from your legal team or provide interim support during maternity or paternity leave or staffing or team role gaps or end of quarter or end of year needs. Whether you need just-in-time legal and privacy support or a flexible, scalable alternative to hiring in-house counsel, we are here to assist.  Checkout at our rates and packages below.

Your Trusted Partner for Comprehensive Data Protection

We’ve successfully negotiated hundreds of data protection agreements and conducted numerous privacy and security assessments. Our expertise ensures your business is protected and compliant with evolving regulations.

Give Your Company the Privacy Counsel Edge  

With The Carlson Firm, you’ll have your own expert privacy counsel available whenever you need them. On an ongoing basis, we provide personalized support to elevate your privacy program, negotiations, and contract needs.

Unlike other "consultant" services, we offer only licensed attorneys with deep expertise in privacy law, ensuring that your business has the edge in compliance, data protection, and strategic legal advice.

Experience the confidence of having dedicated privacy counsel by your side, ready to address any challenge and guide your business through complex privacy landscapes.

Benefits to working with our law firm versus a non-attorney consultant firm:

With a licensed attorney, you’re protected by attorney-client privilege, receive advice that’s legally sound, and have recourse through professional liability insurance. You’ll get the peace of mind knowing your business is fully compliant and protected.

Risks of using non-legal consulting firms can expose you to serious risks with no recovery:

• No attorney-client privilege means your discussions aren’t protected in litigation.
• Unauthorized practice of law can lead to invalid advice, opening your business up to negligence claims if things go wrong.
• No liability protection: Privacy consultants’ liability insurance does not cover legal advice, meaning if they give advice that crosses into legal territory (which privacy often does), you have no recourse if the advice leads to non-compliance or legal trouble. Only licensed attorneys are covered to provide legal advice, and if something goes wrong, their malpractice insurance protects you.
• No Legal Protection using a Consultant for Privacy Advice: risking penalties and fines for improper compliance.
