Data was the key to doing business long before anyone was using the word data. But in this day and age, it's all about information, and companies often collect as much of it as they can. But what happens when data is mismanaged? What happens if it becomes a liability?
Warner Norcross & Judd LLP recognized that those questions needed answers, and so the law firm opened up a new Data Solutions Practice Group, making it the first firm in Michigan to provide an integrated team approach to full support for business data.
The new practice opened its doors with more than 30 attorneys, record-management specialists, data- and information-technology specialists and paralegals. The team is focused on four primary areas: Information governance and records management, electronic discovery, privacy and security and employee education and training.
The Data Solutions practice is being co-chaired by B. Jay Yelton III and Dawn Garcia Ward.
The new Data Solutions team has broad experience working with medical device manufacturers, auto suppliers, insurance providers, pharmaceutical manufacturers, health care and life sciences services, financial institutions, retailers and other industries. Michigan clients include Amway Corp., Stryker Corp., Spectrum Health, the state of Michigan and Holland Hospital.
