Position
Elliot Golding provides business-oriented privacy and cybersecurity advice to global companies spanning virtually every sector of the economy, with a particular focus in the technology, healthcare, life sciences, retail, e-commerce, automotive and financial sectors. His practical approach gives clients actionable advice to help balance legal risk with business needs.

Elliot has also managed hundreds of breaches and ransomware attacks, guiding clients through all aspects of investigation, notification, remediation and engagement with regulators.
Elliot is IAPP certified (CIPP/US) and has been recognized in a number of industry rankings and awards, including by Chambers USA, Legal 500 US, Bloomberg Law, Global Data Review and the National Law Journal.
