Privacy enforcement is a specialized area for which attorneys must be knowledgeable in data security, which can get very technical and requires additional training and certifications, such as the Certified Information Privacy Professional designation issued by the International Association of Privacy Professionals. Because of the specialized nature of this work and the demand for attorneys with this expertise, we anticipate the salary of each attorney hired to perform the work required by this bill to be $86,500 each.
