Aleksandra's practice is devoted to healthcare, and she has assisted hundreds of healthcare organizations and business associates through privacy and data security incidents, regulatory inquiries and complex Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) compliance issues.

Incident Response

When a privacy and/or security incident occurs, Aleksandra takes an arms-linked approach with clients, coordinating a skilled team - including forensic, public relations and negotiations professionals - to quickly help contain the incident, reduce public and regulatory scrutiny, guide investigations and protect the clients’ reputations.

Regulatory Investigations

Whether received in the aftermath of significant incidents or as a result of a complaint, regulatory investigations of healthcare entities and business associates carry significant risk. Clients have entrusted Aleksandra with coordinating the internal investigation for and responding to hundreds of regulatory inquiries conducted by federal and state regulators. Aleksandra’s early-career litigation experience has made her an incredibly effective oral advocate when presenting to regulators, and honed her ability to gracefully work with regulators on difficult points of contention.

Proactive HIPAA Compliance

Aleksandra is a sought-after business partner for privacy and compliance issues. Clients appreciate her ability to leverage her wealth of regulatory and client experiences to help the client find solutions that are bespoke to their organization and particular challenge.

Aleksandra is the firm’s Chicago Digital Assets and Data Management Leader.

Aleksandra brings a strategic advantage to the defense of class action litigation, having started her legal career as a plaintiffs’ attorney focusing on consumer data privacy class actions. Her strengths in cybersecurity are bolstered by her representation of startups and closely held technology companies in a variety of commercial disputes.
