Langley & Banack Lawyer Receives Certified Information Privacy Professional/US Designation
Lui Chambers, an international business attorney and shareholder with Langley & Banack, Inc., has earned the ANSI-accredited Certified Information Privacy Professional/United States (CIPP/US) credential through the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP).
The CIPP is the global standard in privacy certification. Developed and launched by the IAPP with leading subject matter experts, the CIPP is the world’s first broad-based global privacy and data protection credentialing program.
In a release, the firm said Chambers counsels clients on privacy and data protection, data breach response, cybersecurity and general cyber-contracting matters. Chambers has experience in crisis management, both in information privacy matters, as well as in general disaster response. Prior to joining Langley & Banack, she served as regional general counsel for a large multi-national corporation and was alternate incident commander of the regional incident response team.
In addition to crisis management, Chambers assists clients with drafting and implementation of cyber-security and general incident response plans and structures, enhanced compliance, and governance policies and protocols, the firm said. She also advises financial institutions and industry clients in the drafting and negotiation of their website development, website hosting, SaaS agreements and other internet and data-based service agreements.
“Unfortunately, laws and their communication are not keeping up with the rapid advances of technology. As a result, corporations, business owners, financial institutions and others in private and public industries are not adequately prepared when a data breach occurs,” said Chambers.
“A breach can involve the unauthorized access of personal information or otherwise confidential data, such as trade secrets, confidential business processes, corporate structures and more,” Chambers said.
“The challenge is that laws vary on state and federal levels as to what is considered confidential information in the first place and how to handle a breach or theft of such information or access to any system containing such confidential information,” she continued.
“That is why it is imperative for organizations, small and large, to have protective provisions and procedures in place both in their contracts, on their websites and in internal policies,” added Chambers.
Lui Chambers holds the following academic degrees: Juris Doctor, University of Houston Law Center, cum laude, 2008; Master of Business Administration, University of Chicago, 2000; M.Sc. (Econs), London School of Economics, 1993; and a B.A. with Joint Honors, 1989, Leeds University. She is fluent in German and Spanish.
