Kelly Hollingsworth focuses her practices in the areas of technology and data privacy. She guides both users and creators of software, cloud solutions and other technology through procurement, commercial contracting and implementation. On the privacy and security fronts, she helps global clients – in such areas as health care, higher education, retail and manufacturing – protect and utilize both their own data and that of their customers in a way that complies with continuously evolving data privacy regulations, worldwide. Kelly’s current practice specialties evolved from and continue to be informed by her significant experience in general business law, including entity formation, business governance, contracting and mergers and acquisitions. She wants her clients to feel confident and smart about their business decisions, and the efficiency and practicality she brings to the process allows them to do so. Kelly’s granular approach to learning the details of each unique tech product or system makes her an invaluable resource to clients and her team at Warner. “I draft and negotiate hundreds of contracts,” she explains, “and my goal, with each one, is to spot and work out all of the key issues ahead of time so that we never have to revisit a contract once it is signed.” In sum, Kelly is passionate about and committed to solving her client’s business challenges and moving an idea from conception to implementation. Her goal is to help clients strategically utilize and develop new technologies to plan for a successful future while avoiding unnecessary risks along the way.
