In a recent article for Latin Lawyer, Debevoise lawyers Jeremy Feigelson, Andrew M. Levine, Christopher Ford, Joshua Smith and Stephanie Cipolla address some of the key legal requirements that apply around the globe, with a focus on certain jurisdictions in Latin America, and strategies for reducing legal and reputational risks related to data management.
