Peter A. Blenkinsop advises clients on data privacy, research compliance, and e-health. He co-chairs the firm’s Information Privacy, Security & Governance practice. Peter represents clients in the life sciences, health, nutrition, and technology sectors, among others.
Peter’s focus on data privacy and security law began well over a decade ago in the run up to implementation of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”). Since then, his practice has expanded well beyond health information privacy to data privacy and security generally. He advises companies on compliance issues raised by US federal and state privacy laws such as the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”), the CAN-SPAM Act, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, and the Junk Fax Prevention Act. In this role, he assists clients in identifying privacy and security risks and developing information governance programs.
