Kate Berry is a member of the firm's technology, communications, privacy, and security group where she helps clients navigate and comply with state, federal, and international privacy laws, including the GDPR, CCPA, CPRA, VCDPA, CPA, COPPA, and FERPA. She counsels a variety of clients, including technology companies, communications companies, educational institutions, retailers, and non-profit organizations, on the creation and maintenance of strong data privacy and information governance practices.

Faced with rapidly changing policy and regulatory environments, Kate's clients count on her to help them understand and react to proposed privacy legislation and administrative rulemaking. She also maintains an active product counselling practice, supporting clients' efforts through the lifecycle of their products and services.

Kate has particular interest and experience addressing the unique privacy and other regulatory considerations related to biometric data, facial recognition technology, and artificial intelligence. Kate's experience in technology transactions helps her understand the broader business concerns to deliver practical privacy and product guidance.

In addition to her technology and privacy work, Kate maintains an active pro bono practice, with particular focus on supporting the arts, women's rights, and voting rights. She is on the Board of the Broadway Advocacy Coalition, a recipient of a Special Tony Award.
