Legacy Management – Creating Tailwinds for the Successful Family

Before joining the firm, Richard worked at multinational businesses advising leadership and other stakeholders on a variety of topics ranging from mergers and acquisitions, privacy and cybersecurity due diligence, and data licensing to privacy, cybersecurity and data risk mitigation strategies related to technology and data products.

During that time, Richard also supported compliance teams as they operationalized legal and regulatory requirements for engineering, commercial, sales, marketing and business development teams throughout product lifecycles. Additionally, he helped government relations teams as they developed strategies to effectively respond to a rapidly changing global policy landscape, as well as information security teams as they developed and implemented programs and incident response strategies.

Richard draws upon a deep well of creativity and experience working with a variety of risk appetites and teams and embraces a wide variety of approaches to offer clients solutions for their privacy, cybersecurity and data concerns.
