Davis Wright Tremaine Announces Launch of PrivSec Blog; Web Log Dedicated to Privacy and Security Legal Issues
NEW YORK --(Business Wire)-- Sept. 26, 2005 -- Davis Wright Tremaine LLP, a national business and litigation firm, announced today the launch of the Privacy and Security Law Blog, www.privsecblog.com, focused on information security and personal privacy legal issues. The blog features current information and legal commentary on a broad range of related topics, including identity theft, surveillance practices, Patriot Act compliance, spyware, spam and emerging workplace privacy issues. The Blog will track privacy and security-related issues in the news as well as federal and state privacy and data security legislation, and recent judicial decisions of interest.
"Data is the currency of the twenty-first century. Every business relies on data or the use of data and the protection of this currency is paramount. Privacy is in many ways the flip side of this coin, because the focus is on how information that has been collected can be used without negatively impacting the human beings that are the source of that data," said Bruce Johnson, a partner in the firm's Seattle office.
"The flexibility and immediacy of the blog format is a great tool for us to disseminate information to our clients and readers. It gives us the opportunity to be 'first responders' when breaking news occurs, and to provide a legal perspective that may not be covered in other reports," said PrivSec blog Editor Lance Koonce, an attorney in the New York office.
Davis Wright Tremaine offers clients the necessary expertise to successfully navigate the laws governing the privacy and security arena. Privacy and security issues touch virtually every aspect of an organization's operations--from online activities, to cross-border commerce, to workplace policies--and include industry-specific challenges to health care organizations, financial institutions, media entities and other businesses.
