Hannah Cho is a Senior Associate at Bronfman Law. She focuses her practice on privacy programs, data incident response, and state privacy laws. She works with businesses that collect and use customer, employee, student, and user data, helping them understand their obligations and put workable controls in place. Her clients range from emerging companies to established organizations with multistate operations.
Hannah advises clients on privacy notices, consent flows, vendor terms, data processing addenda, retention practices, and internal policies. Her work often involves state consumer privacy laws, biometric and health related data issues, children's privacy concerns, and data sharing arrangements. She helps legal, product, security, and operations teams translate legal requirements into steps that can be documented and maintained. She also reviews proposed data uses before launch, including analytics, marketing tools, software integrations, and artificial intelligence features that depend on personal information.
When a data incident occurs, Hannah helps clients assess the facts, preserve key information, coordinate with forensic and business teams, and evaluate notification duties. She also assists with regulator inquiries, customer communications, and updates to incident response plans. Her approach is careful and practical, with attention to privilege, timing, and business continuity. She understands that early decisions can affect legal duties, communications, and later disputes.
Hannah is part of the firm's Technology and Privacy Law practice. She also works with attorneys in Civil Litigation when privacy issues become disputed matters, including contract claims, platform issues, and pre-suit demands. Clients value her clear writing, steady process, and ability to explain privacy requirements without unnecessary jargon. Her goal is to help clients make informed decisions based on the law, the facts, and the way their systems actually operate.
