Partner Cynthia O’Donoghue joined Reed Smith in January 2008, “with the intention of creating a technology and outsourcing practice in London. “Because a big part of technology relates to the transfer and hosting of data in some form, such as in the cloud, data protection was a big part of my practice,” she says. Before she went to law school, she owned a company that offering legal process outsourcing to firms, specializing in writing software to code documents from U.S. discovery for use in litigation.
O’Donoghue’s team subsequently merged with Mark Melodia’s U.S. operation “to create a global offering, covering all aspects of data protection and privacy, from product conception, to new technology initiatives or rationalisation and the full lifecycle of data collection, use, dissemination, transfer and destruction, as well as investigations relating to breaches of the national data protection laws by the various E.U. data protection authorities,” she explains. “Our client offering includes various toolkits that cover and track data protection laws and amendments worldwide,” she says.
