Cyber & Technology

Technology is reshaping every sector of the economy, and the legal issues that arise at the intersection of business and technology require specialized expertise. Ott Law Firm counsels technology companies, startups, established enterprises, and individuals on a wide range of cyber and technology law matters. Our St. Louis attorneys combine a deep understanding of emerging technologies with practical legal guidance to help clients innovate with confidence and manage risk effectively.

Our cyber and technology practice covers data privacy and cybersecurity compliance, technology transactions and licensing, software development agreements, SaaS and cloud service contracts, e-commerce regulations, artificial intelligence governance, and cybersecurity incident response. We help clients comply with evolving privacy frameworks including state consumer privacy laws, HIPAA, GLBA, and international regulations such as GDPR. When data breaches occur, we provide rapid incident response counsel to contain liability, fulfill notification obligations, and manage regulatory and litigation exposure.

If exposed information is followed by fraudulent charges, identity theft, or another measurable loss, preserve the evidence before accounts and records change:

• Keep the breach notice, account statements, credit reports, dispute correspondence, and a timeline of what happened.
• Notify affected financial institutions and follow their fraud-reporting procedures.
• Record direct expenses and other concrete consequences rather than relying on estimates.
• Ask counsel to identify the law and filing deadline that apply to the particular organization, information, and loss; those questions are claim-specific.

At Ott Law Firm, we believe that technology should be an asset, not a liability. We work proactively with clients to implement privacy-by-design principles, conduct contract reviews, draft comprehensive cybersecurity policies, and negotiate technology agreements that protect their interests. For technology disputes — whether involving breach of a software development agreement, misappropriation of trade secrets, or data breach litigation — our litigation team stands ready to pursue or defend claims with the same technology-forward approach we bring to all our practice areas.
