Jennifer L. Urban

Partner

Jennifer L. Urban (née Rathburn) is dedicated to helping clients navigate evolving privacy, cybersecurity, and innovative technology issues. She advises on data protection programs, incident management, breach response and recovery, monetization of data, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence (AI), de-identification, and other emerging hot topics by leveraging her deep understanding of the complex risk, operational, and legal concerns companies must address to maintain their data. Jennifer serves as co-chair of the Cybersecurity & Data Privacy within the firm’s Innovative Technology sector and is one of the founding members of the Midwest Cyber Security Alliance (MCSA).

With these issues requiring a multidisciplinary, scalable approach, Jennifer recognizes that legal advice may only address part of an issue. To provide end-to-end advice, she helps clients understand the additional services they may need to meet best practices and solve their issues by bringing her network of IT security, incident response, privacy, and other partners to the table.

Jennifer also serves as a vice chair of the firm’s Technology Transactions, Cybersecurity, and Privacy Practice and as a member of the Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG) Practice. She routinely helps clients prepare for (and respond) to data security incidents, from preparing incident response plans and advising on cybersecurity programs to handling the breach notification response process. She regularly advises boards on current best practices and conducts tabletop exercises to help organizations prepare for cyberattacks.

Jennifer also assists clients in navigating compliance with evolving U.S. and global privacy and data security laws, frameworks, and guidance governing the privacy of consumer, employee, applicant, B2B, health, biometrics, and other sensitive data, such as FTC guidance, the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), 42 C.F.R. Part 2 (Confidentiality of Substance Use Disorder Treatment Records), the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), among many others.
