Biography: Untitled Document
Tim Tobin is a senior litigation associate in the Privacy and Data Security Practice Group of Proskauer Rose LLP's Washington, D.C. office.

Tim counsels and represents clients in all industry sectors in connection with their privacy and data security obligations. His work includes conducting privacy audits to determine the scope of a company's legal obligations with respect to personally identifiable information under their control, and the company's compliance with those obligations. Tim works with clients to develop privacy policies as well as data retention and destruction polices and procedures for safeguarding information. He also represents clients when there are data security breach issues, and compliance with the more than thirty-three state laws may be implicated. He has advised clients on a wide array of state and federal privacy laws, such as the Gramm-Leach Bliley Act ("GLBA"); the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ("HIPAA"); the Electronic Communications Privacy Act ("ECPA"); the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"); the Fair Credit Reporting Act ("FCRA"); the privacy provisions of the Cable Act; the customer proprietary network information ("CPNI") requirements under the Telecommunications Act of 1996; the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act ("CALEA"); and the Federal Trade Commission Act, among others.

Tim's practice also includes counseling clients on various consumer privacy laws that implicate marketing practices, including state and federal telemarketing and "Do Not Call" laws, and commercial e-mail restriction under the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003 ("CAN-SPAM Act"). He has represented clients in "Do Not Call," CAN-SPAM and other privacy proceedings before the FCC and FTC.

Tim received his B.A. from Michigan State University in 1991 and his J.D., magna cum laude, from George Mason University School of Law in 2001, where he was articles editor for the George Mason Law Review.
