The Cybersecurity & Privacy Law Committee has agreed to sponsor an intensive, two-day training seminar that would help Florida lawyers become internationally certified in data privacy.

Meeting virtually on October 18 at the Bar’s Fall Meeting, the committee voted unanimously to begin negotiating with “Privacy Ref,” a Boynton Beach firm that trains candidates to become “IAPP Certified Information Privacy Professionals.”

“I think we should be thinking about making as many Florida Bar members IAPP certified as possible,” said Co-Chair Franklin Zemel, referring to the International Association of Privacy Professionals. “I’ve been through the training in the past. They’re top-notch in every way.”
