Lowenstein Sandler – In this video, M&A experts discuss the importance of complying with cybersecurity regulations within the context of mergers and acquisitions. Using the CafePress-Snapfish data breach case as an example, they explain how data privacy and data security can impact M&A transactions, particularly when the companies involved are consumer-facing and handle large volumes of sensitive personal data, such as financial services, healthcare, ad tech, and online retail businesses. They also address pre-closing issues that can lead to liabilities, due diligence, and what buyers or sellers should do in case of a breach.
