Courtney E.Ruggeri

Courtney Ruggeri's practice focuses on privacy, data protection, and cybersecurity matters, including compliance, regulatory investigations, and corporate transactions.

Courtney helps clients across a range of industries strategically navigate state, federal, and global privacy and consumer protection laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and other comprehensive state privacy laws, the Federal Trade Commission Act (FTC Act), the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), and the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA). As such, a significant part of Courtney's practice is assisting clients with the design and implementation of tailored privacy law compliance programs, advising on internal and external-facing privacy policies, website terms, data subject request processes, and cookie-related disclosures and practices.

In addition, Courtney represents clients in domestic and cross-border corporate transactions, where she counsels on cybersecurity and privacy matters, including due diligence, and she has experience negotiating transitional and other corporate agreements. Courtney also represents clients under investigations by regulatory and government authorities.

Prior to joining Jones Day, Courtney worked as a privacy and digital risk legal fellow at a large, multinational cloud computing company, and also served as a judicial law clerk to Judge Rebecca Beach Smith of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.
