Overview

Lindsay draws on her in-house and privacy experience to help clients build practical privacy and data security programs.

Lindsay brings extensive data privacy experience gained from nearly 15 years of practice in highly regulated industries, including three in-house privacy secondments with a national retail pharmacy, medical device company, and a bank. Her practice specializes in day-to-day privacy counseling and building privacy compliance programs from the ground up.

Lindsay has also worked for the American Medical Association, American Dental Association, Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, and the Illinois Office of Health Information Technology. These experiences inform her ability to counsel domestic and international clients across all industries, with a specialty in healthcare and technology.

She helps clients optimize personal data, design websites and mobile apps, negotiate privacy contracts, establish privacy-minded processes for onboarding vendors and new technologies, and counsels on data breach incidents, risk analysis, and risk management processes.

Her work includes advising on email, phone, and text messaging practices, crafting privacy policies, procedures, guidelines, and flowcharts, and evaluating privacy notices, consents, and other consumer-facing documents.

Lindsay also negotiates data processing agreements, business associate agreements, and other required privacy contracts, and she drafts privacy language for software, cloud, and data services transactions.

In addition to counseling on data privacy matters, Lindsay collaborates with the Firm’s litigators to defend clients in regulatory matters focused on biometric data, including claims filed under BIPA.
