Protecting Your Business, Protecting Your Data
Privacy and data security are cornerstones of modern business strategy that shape regulatory frameworks, enhance public confidence, and shield organizations and individuals from irreparable reputational harm. In an age of sophisticated cyber threats enabled by ever-changing technologies, protecting your business and clients from risk demands ongoing vigilance.
With complex and evolving regulations, staying compliant and secure can be overwhelming.
Choose our lawyers to be your trusted advisors.
A Shifting Regulatory Landscape
We offer comprehensive legal guidance tailored to your organization’s privacy and information management responsibilities. Our team advises clients on key laws including:
Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA)
Personal Health Information Protection Act (PHIPA)
Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (MFIPPA)
Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA)
We help clients implement policies and best practices in managing the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information; responding to freedom of information requests; and resolving privacy complaints. We also assist with regulatory compliance, investigations, audits, contract reviews, and dispute resolution across private and public sectors.
Being Prepared is Your Best Defence
Our approach to mitigating risk starts with understanding your business and the data classifications it manages. We create tailored privacy and anti-spam policies, conduct risk assessments for new technologies or initiatives, and help integrate privacy protections into your operations.
Whether you're dealing with a breach or responding to a regulatory inquiry, our counsel helps reduce legal exposure and safeguard your organization’s good name. We liaise with regulatory bodies including the Ontario Privacy Commissioner and the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, advocating on your behalf to protect your interests.
