Privacy & Cybersecurity
Position
Elliot Golding provides business-oriented privacy and cybersecurity advice to global companies spanning virtually every sector of the economy, with a particular focus in the technology, healthcare, life sciences, retail, e-commerce, automotive and financial sectors. His practical approach gives clients actionable advice to help balance legal risk with business needs. He routinely counsels clients on the latest cutting-edge issues, such as online advertising and tracking technologies, digital health tools, data monetization strategies, and artificial intelligence. He provides both day-to-day product counseling and helps companies develop global compliance programs that harmonize the California Consumer Privacy Act (and equivalent state privacy laws in Virginia, Colorado and other states); GDPR and other international laws; specific rules in the highly regulated health and financial sectors (HIPAA/HITECH, ONC Information Blocking Rule, 42 CFR Part 2, the Common Rule, GLBA and state equivalents); marketing rules (TCPA, CANSPAM and industry self-regulatory standards); security standards (such as PCI-DSS, NIST and ISO); and many others. Elliot has also managed hundreds of breaches and ransomware attacks, guiding clients through all aspects of investigation, notification, remediation and engagement with regulators.
Elliot is IAPP certified (CIPP/US) and has been recognized in a number of industry rankings and awards, including by Chambers USA, Legal 500 US, Bloomberg Law, Global Data Review and the National Law Journal. Elliot also co-chairs the American Bar Association’s SciTech Privacy, Security and Emerging Technology Division; E-Privacy Committee; and Biotechnology, Healthcare Technology, and Medical Device Committee.

With the arrival of Washington DC-based duo Elliot Golding and senior counsel Robin Campbell from Squire Patton Boggs in April 2022 as well as Kathryn Linsky, in New York, from an in-house position in August 2022, McDermott Will & Emery LLP has deepened its broad global privacy and cybersecurity group. Linsky focuses on privacy by design when advising clients on product and feature developments frequently involving AI and machine learning. The arrival of Campbell adds a dimension to the team with her specialism on undertaking global data compliance and breach response strategies in the autonomous vehicles and connected cars space. Likewise, Golding’s experience in working on innovative data compliance issues involving health-tech, biometrics, ad-tech and data monetization deepens the team’s expertise. Head of the US team Michael Morgan, based in Silicon Valley, works on both complex breach responses and global compliance strategies, involving US state privacy laws, GDPR and China’s Network Security Law. Boston-stationed Edward Zacharias and Daniel Gottlieb, in Chicago, are the key names for healthcare providers, insurers, pharmacies and medical device manufacturers on HIPAA compliance and investigation matters. Also in Chicago, Ryan Higgins is a further name to note for healthcare companies for data arrangements concerning transactions, while Jiayan Chen in Washington DC, covers big data issues pertaining to clinical laboratories, bioassets and big data transactions. Todd McClelland, in Atlanta, not only advises technology driven companies on responses to cyber incidents and also assists on pre-breach activities, namely incident response plan designs, vendor penetration testing and cyber tabletops. David Saunders in Chicago, is a key contact for state and federal level compliance advice.
