Park Legal LLC

Park Legal LLC is an Indianapolis-based law firm that assists clients in the areas of data privacy, security and records management. Unlike many other firms, our lawyers have decades of experience as in-house counsel as well as experience as regulators. We also have information security experts working side-by-side with us. As such, we offer a next generational approach to the practice of law by integrating technology into our operations and by providing materials to clients in a format that is business-focused and prioritized to address key risks. We also eliminate the use of multiple associates and generalists who are not fully immersed in this specialized and continuously evolving area of law—and who therefore may overlook critical factors in providing counseling to you, or increase your bills unnecessarily as you pay for their research and training.

 

We offer end-to-end services to our clients though an affiliated on-line training company and a software company, making it easier, faster and more economical for your organization to ensure a solid level of compliance. In addition, we collaborate with an international law firm with 21 offices across Europe and Asia, as well as external security experts in the U.S. and globally. These resources can be added as needed in a seamless, cost-efficient manner to provide full service to your organization.

 

Our team of professionals includes Joan Antokol, a former Vice President and Global Head of Data Privacy for the 260 companies in the Novartis Group; Matt Light, a former Indiana Deputy Attorney General who previously assisted in managing the security breach division of the Indiana Attorney General’s Office and who drafted some of Indiana’s security breach laws; and Susan May, an attorney with an international Masters in Business Administration who has over 20 years of in-house counsel experience in privacy and healthcare compliance. Our training and software affiliates include Monica Brown, a former director of training for Eli Lilly, as well as a former global head of enterprise risk management for a Fortune 100 global database hosting company.
