Damon W. Silver is a principal in the New York City, New York, office of Jackson Lewis P.C. and co-leader of the firm’s Privacy, AI & Cybersecurity practice group. He is a Certified Information Privacy Professional (CIPP/US).

Damon helps clients across various industries—with a focus on financial services, healthcare, and education—handle their data safely. He works with them to pragmatically navigate the challenges they face from cyberattacks, technological developments including AI, a fast-evolving data privacy and security legal compliance landscape, and an active and innovative plaintiffs’ bar.

Damon takes the time to understand each client’s circumstances and priorities and then works with it to develop tailored approaches to effectively managing risk without unnecessarily hindering business operations.
