Latham Named Global Elite Data Law Firm for Third Consecutive Year

For the third consecutive year, Global Data Review (GDR), the leading source of worldwide news and analysis on the use and trade of data, has named Latham & Watkins among its list of Elite data law firms as part of its annual GDR 100 report.

Identified as a ‘contentious powerhouse’, Latham was recognised for its full range of data protection and privacy services, such as in-depth compliance advice, privacy policies, government investigations, litigation, big-ticket M&A, and data breach rapid-response assistance. The firm was also ranked 2nd for investigations, and 4th for litigation.

The GDR 100 examines law firms’ privacy and data protection capabilities, as well as their experience advising on all aspects of data law – including data localization, B2B disputes about data acquisition and breach responsibility, antitrust, the use of IP, and confidentiality laws to protect proprietary data.

The Elite ranking honours firms that consistently advise on high quality, complex, business critical matters to multinational clients around the world. GDR determines the list based on firms’ international presence and track record of handling significant matters for household clients.
