Jon Neiditz co-leads the Cybersecurity, Privacy and Data Governance Practice at Kilpatrick Townsend. One of the first lawyers to focus broadly on data governance and knowledge asset protection, he remains the only person recognized by Best Lawyers in America® both for Information Management Law and for Privacy and Data Security Law, and most recently he has been recognized for Technology Law as well. For decades Jon has helped clients anticipate, obviate, and manage information privacy and security risks; appropriately monetize information; comply with privacy, data protection and cybersecurity laws around the world in pragmatic ways; and contain and prevent harm from incidents while maximizing resilience and minimizing regulatory issues. Jon has always collaborated with clients and peers on pragmatic innovation; for example, in the 1990s, he helped to define what accountable health care and health care reform might look like; in the 2000s he helped to invent multi-disciplinary incident response and the role of the “breach coach” and to define proportionate search in e-discovery; and in the 2010s he helped pioneer governance of “big data” and protection of “crown jewels.” Jon has been selected as a “Cybersecurity Trailblazer” by the National Law Journal, as a Ponemon Fellow, and by Who’s Who Legal for Data Law. Jon is certified by the IAPP in Europe as well as in the U.S. (CIPP/E, CIPP/US and CIPM).
WHAT CLIENTS SAY
"Jon's strong background and skillset are valuable to us and very hard to find."
"He has a deep knowledge of the law around privacy and security."
MY CLIENT PHILOSOPHY
"Thanks to BTI, law firms are just now learning about client service what some organizations and the consulting world knew when I was a child. Yet I chose to return to practicing law in a firm rather than becoming a Big 4 partner after growing up in-house and in consulting to reconnect with the sacred professional duties, hoping to find true partnership and calling in the ethical and fiduciary devotion to clients. The creative, mutually-elevating expression of that mature love—in professional life as in marriage and friendship—is my greatest joy, which I combine with a consultant’s knack for serving as part of a collaborative team in which each player has distinct and carefully-nurtured superpowers."
