Scott T. Loughlin

Scott helps clients unlock the value of data while managing cybersecurity, compliance, and third-party risks. He is known for identifying possibilities and risks others may miss.

Data crosses borders and so does Scott's global experience. He helps multinational clients develop sophisticated strategies that address complex global compliance and privacy challenges. Scott has robust experience in proactively managing data privacy and cybersecurity risks and effectively responding to crises in the U.S. and around the world.

Long before most lawyers saw a connection between transactions and privacy law, Scott was managing data risks in deals. Leveraging a background in corporate law, Scott combines two unique skill sets, transactions and data, to mitigate risks and get deals done. From M&A deals to strategic partnerships, he structures and negotiates transactions to achieve compliance and manage third-party data risks.

Scott is business focused – he understands how companies can use and leverage data to achieve business objectives. As a result, he is sought out by clients for whom data are central to products and operations, including businesses in the media, manufacturing, technology, e-commerce, and services industries. In addition, Scott's comprehensive knowledge of health information law, including HIPAA, attracts health and life sciences companies, who seek his guidance in addressing legal and business problems. Scott teaches courses on constitutional law and American politics at Washington Adventist University, and serves on the Board of Directors of the Adventure Theater Musical Theater Center.
