Alex Reynolds, CIPP/US, works collaboratively with clients to identify their privacy and security problems and creates holistic strategies to solve them. When providing advice, Alex seeks to leverage existing resources or discover new ones if the situation requires, recognizes when other DWT experts should be engaged to make efficient use of clients’ time, and happily engages in as much or as little project management as clients need. Alex’s legal expertise focuses on privacy and security compliance with international law, implementing privacy and security in contracts, and designing data-governance programs to respond to legal obligations.
