Mark W. Brennan is Hogan Lovells' global Lead Innovation Partner, responsible for championing innovation in client service, new products, and legal innovation across the firm's global business. He has a truly unique global regulatory and policy practice that makes him a valuable resource for clients across industry sectors.
An experienced advisor, Mark is a respected voice on privacy and communications matters and advises clients on artificial intelligence, biometric data/facial recognition, Internet of Things/connected devices, U.S. CLOUD Act, telecommunications networking, cloud computing, calling/texting laws, data breach, and other technology and consumer protection matters. He advises global Internet and technology companies and household name clients in the financial, healthcare, pharmaceutical, government contracts, advertising, and automotive sectors. He is as comfortable assisting clients on FCC and Federal Trade Commission policy and enforcement as he is providing thoughtful, actionable compliance strategies to business teams.
Mark receives dozens of requests each year to share his insights on telecoms, privacy, and consumer protection issues at marquee conferences and is most well-known for obtaining significant victories for clients on privacy and Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) issues. He also advises on other privacy and data security matters, including Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, California Consumer Privacy Act, the FCC's Customer Proprietary Network Information (CPNI) rules, CAN-SPAM, the Video Privacy Protection Act, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), state data breach statutes, and more.
Mark is also a member of our U.S. national diversity committee and a co-chair of our global Pride+ LGBT+ ally network, and he was formerly the head of our U.S. LGBT+ affinity group.
