Expert guidance on a complex data security contract

I engaged Chris Savage at Davis Wright Tremaine to assist my tech startup with a high-stakes service agreement involving significant data processing. With his 40+ years of experience and deep background in privacy and data security law, he was the clear choice. He expertly navigated the complex regulatory landscape, identifying risks in the arbitration clauses and data handling provisions that our in-house team had completely overlooked. His advice was not only legally sound but also strategically practical, helping us secure favorable terms while maintaining compliance. It's evident why he's recognized by Best Lawyers in Communications Law. The only slight drawback was the pace of communication at times; given his seniority and likely caseload, responses could occasionally take a day or two. However, the quality of the work when it arrived was always exceptional. For matters requiring a seasoned expert in communications and data law, Mr. Savage is an outstanding resource.
