Mindi is a trusted partner, advisor and leader.
Mindi works closely with clients to leverage, protect and enforce their valuable technology and intellectual property rights, comply with evolving and complex privacy regulatory requirements, and, when necessary, quickly and effectively respond to data security incidents.
Data security incidents can be devastating and stressful, so it is important to have a trusted, responsive and knowledgeable advisor to work through them. Mindi navigates data security incidents – both large and small – and any resulting regulatory investigations and actions with clients. Mindi recently assisted a client with a high-profile and broadly reaching ransomware attack in the healthcare industry.
Mindi is a Certified Information Privacy Professional (CIPP), so she also frequently assists clients with their data privacy compliance requirements and programs in the U.S. and abroad, including the HIPAA, CCPA, CPRA and GDPR.
Clients also look to Mindi for assistance in developing successful and efficient licensing programs for new technologies and products.
They also turn to Mindi when they need to protect and enforce their valuable intellectual property rights. Mindi recently successfully defended a national healthcare association against copyright infringement claims asserted by former volunteers in the organization’s educational materials. In addition to winning a defense verdict, Mindi also obtained an award of attorneys’ fees on behalf of her client.
In addition to her role as client advisor, Mindi co-leads the firm’s Data Privacy and Cybersecurity and IoT/Blockchain teams. Mindi also served as Husch Blackwell's Madison Office Managing Partner for almost seven years. In these leadership roles, Mindi builds and fosters teams with top talent, diversity and mutual respect.
As a community leader, Mindi focuses on making Madison a better place to live, especially for young people, through her board service and pro bono/volunteer work.
