Janine Anthony Bowen's skills as an entrepreneur, engineer and strategist come together through her technology-focused practice. Always on the front lines of industry innovation, she has led global efforts to license technology to solution developers during her time as a project manager at IBM. Janine also established and managed a technology law boutique firm, developing and implementing its cloud-based infrastructure, as well as managing day-to-day operations and client growth and acquisition.

Specifically, Janine is a seasoned professional in regards to agreements for the use, licensing, acquisition and commercialization of technology and intellectual property, privacy and data protection, mobile computing, and healthcare technology.
Janine is also well-versed in the areas of privacy law and cyberlaw. Notably, she counsels clients on how to prepare for the new California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the potential of other U.S. state and federal privacy laws, including designing and implementing information governance and privacy compliance programs. As a faculty member and co-chair of the Practising Law Institute's cloud computing program, she is often called on to speak to the latest industry trends and best practices. Her comfort with complex issues makes Janine a trusted advisor for clients negotiating strategic technology-related deals, as well as those in need of intelligent analysis, cost control, strategic growth advice and thought leadership.
