VinceSmolczynski

Vince focuses a large part of his practice on data protection issues, including counseling companies on data protection best practices and advising on domestic state level privacy and compliance work, including enacted US state privacy laws such as CCPA/CPRA, as well as state privacy laws in the legislative pipeline. He has defended numerous clients against California’s Invasion of Privacy Act claims; analyzed website-related disclosures; and assisted clients in developing and implementing the internal privacy processes and procedures that ensure clients are prepared to respond to data subject access requests, minimize data collection and retention, and provide appropriate notice of the collection and processing of personal information.

Vince also has significant experience in records and information management. He understands the essential record types that most companies maintain, and has extensive experience building compliant records and information management programs. In this respect, Vince has advised clients both small and large.

Vince is registered to practice before the US Patent and Trademark Office. He regularly counsels clients in connection with obtaining and protecting their IP assets, manages clients’ IP portfolios, and works with his clients to achieve their business objectives, whether through the initiation of infringement actions or staunch defense of the same in federal court.

Vince makes it a point to tailor his advice and strategy to the needs of the individual client, as he knows they vary depending upon where the client is in the growth curve. For example, he believes in picking up the telephone to get work done, but he realizes that different clients, particularly from different generations, work differently. He prides himself in being accessible and conducting his practices via all appropriate means. Seyfarth gives Vince the opportunity to work on the full scope and range of representation, from large scale litigation to individualized counseling.
