With more than 20 years of privacy law experience, Marc provides clients strategic business consulting on all aspects of information policy including privacy, cybersecurity, data incident response and data asset management. Marc advises clients in complex, highly regulated sectors. From initial management, protection, disposal and regulatory compliance to incident/breach responses, notifications, post-breach investigation and litigation, Marc guides clients through each step of the data privacy and protection lifecycle. He regularly advises on compliance with all federal and state privacy regulations, as well as international standards such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Much of Marc’s practice centers around emerging technologies. He counsels clients on adoption of new technologies and advises on investing in emerging technologies. Marc recommends best practices for compliant data use and helps clients monetize the value of digital assets in the context of partnerships, data licensing and other transactions. Prior to joining Shipman, Marc served as Deputy General Counsel of the Yale New Haven Health System. Because Marc began his career as a software architect developing complex n-tier and web-based solutions, he brings a wealth of knowledge of both legal compliance issues as well as software, technology, and data systems to his clients in highly regulated industries including health care, insurance, public utilities, and banking.
