Content and non-privacy data regulation overview

Content regulation advisory

White & Case provides global content regulation, compliance and product advice for multiple online platforms and intermediary service providers. We work with legal, policy, product, engineering, marketing, sales and communications teams for the full life cycle of laws and regulations—from when they are first proposed to when they are finally interpreted by courts and regulators. In 2023 alone, our team counseled tech clients on more than 30 content-regulation laws and regulations, including extensively advising on the EU's Digital Services Act.

We partner with clients to devise commercial, risk-based global compliance strategies, leveraging our unparalleled experience in efficiently tracking and analyzing regulatory developments across the world, creating uniform processes and methodologies to rank priorities, and standardizing cross-practice legal analyses. We also work with clients to leverage this analysis in the development and launch of new products and risk mitigations.
