2023 Tech Transitions & Data Privacy Report

We are poised at the beginning of 2023 with keen anticipation for what this next year will bring. While the global pandemic that altered so many areas of our lives has finally moved to the background, the new normal has yet to fully materialize. Keeping that context in mind, 2022 saw the beginning of a “crypto winter” but also a proliferation of new technology in areas such as edge computing and artificial intelligence. The ever-increasing collection, sharing and use of data this past year led to an increasing recognition of the importance of data protection and responsible data handling practices. Public awareness of the risks associated with the collection and use of personal information has never been higher and, consequently, governments around the world implemented or proposed a number of new privacy laws and regulations in 2022. We expect that trend to accelerate this year. 

Polsinelli’s Technology Transactions & Data Privacy 2023 Report mirrors the growth and depth of our legal practice in this area. Over 40 lawyers have contributed to 19 thought-provoking articles covering a range of important issues – from data rights and usage, analysis of new privacy laws and regulations, ransomware developments, blockchain technology, non-fungible tokens and the latest privacy litigation trends. As we look toward the future, our attorneys will continue to be at the center of these developments. We take pride in our roles and responsibilities as we work with our clients in 2023 on the complex challenges of the technology and data privacy landscape.

Am Law 100 firm Polsinelli has released its third annual Tech Transactions & Data Privacy Report, providing insights into the most pressing data privacy, cybersecurity and technology trends and developments affecting companies and organizations.
