Your Trusted Partner for Comprehensive Data Privacy, Protection, and Compliance Solutions

Tailored Privacy Solutions for Every Business

Whether you're a startup, mid-sized business, or large global enterprise, The Carlson Firm offers a range of expertly tailored privacy and data protection solutions to meet your needs. Our services are flexible and scalable.

 

Simplifying Privacy and Compliance for Your Business

Managing privacy, compliance, and legal tasks, while keeping pace with evolving privacy regulations, can be overwhelming. Our comprehensive services are designed to offload these responsibilities from your legal team or provide interim support during critical periods—whether it's maternity or paternity leave, team role gaps, or end-of-quarter demands. With just-in-time legal and privacy support, we offer a flexible, scalable alternative to hiring in-house counsel, empowering you to focus on business growth.

 

Trusted Partner for Comprehensive Data Protection

With extensive experience across multiple industries—including retail, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, cloud service providers, and collaborations with leading global firms like PwC, KPMG, Target, Medtronic, and Veritas—we bring a deep understanding of the unique privacy and security challenges your business faces. From negotiating complex data protection agreements to conducting rigorous privacy and security assessments, we ensure your business is compliant and protected in an ever-changing regulatory landscape.

 

Elevate Your Privacy Strategy with The Carlson Firm

At The Carlson Firm, we provide dedicated privacy counsel with deep legal expertise. Unlike consultant services, we offer licensed attorneys who specialize in privacy law, ensuring that your business remains compliant, secure, and strategically positioned to navigate complex regulatory environments.

With us, you’ll have access to a trusted partner who delivers:

  • Strategic legal guidance on privacy and data protection.
  • Attorney-client privilege, ensuring the confidentiality of sensitive discussions.
  • Professional liability protection, giving you peace of mind and recourse if challenges arise.

Benefits of Partnering with Licensed Attorneys

Working with licensed attorneys ensures legally sound advice, backed by the assurance of attorney-client privilege and professional liability insurance—providing a layer of protection and accountability that non-attorney consultants simply cannot offer.

 

Risks of Non-Legal Privacy Consultants

Relying on non-attorney consultants can expose your business to significant risks:

  • No Attorney-Client Privilege: Without the protection of confidentiality, conversations with non-attorneys could be used against you in litigation.
  • Unauthorized Practice of Law: Privacy compliance often requires legal advice. If non-attorney consultants overstep into legal territory, their advice may be invalid, exposing your business to negligence claims.
  • No Liability Coverage: Privacy consultants typically do not carry malpractice insurance, leaving you without financial recourse if their guidance results in non-compliance or legal challenges.
