"Given the increasingly global nature of privacy laws and litigation, it is important to our clients that we are fully equipped to navigate their national and international compliance obligations," said Jaworski, a former Department of Justice attorney and member at Beckage PLLC.  "This certification is in recognition of our commitment to our clients evolving needs in the data protection and privacy realm."

"This certification underscores the importance of regulations like the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) to American businesses" added Greene.  "The GDPR potentially sets a new global standard for the treatment of personal information, and our clients have taken notice and look to us for our rigorous experience and effective guidance."
