At ZwillGen, we are proud to be a mid-size boutique firm with deep and broad experience in privacy and data security, e-commerce, online advertising and marketing, vendor and customer contracting, law enforcement surveillance, artificial intelligence/automated processing, and investigations and litigation related to these areas. Following years of running practice groups at the nation’s largest law firms, ZwillGen was founded on the principle of delivering thoughtful and practical solutions more efficiently. Leaving behind the bureaucracy of Big Law has allowed us to focus on one thing—delivering high value legal advice to help our clients make the most of new technologies. Today, we offer unique services from a team of highly specialized attorneys, some of whom have spent the last 20 years developing their knowledge and experience with leading clients, firms, and issues. We represent prominent media companies, Internet companies, Internet service providers, app developers, social networking sites, sharing economy companies, wireless carriers, video game publishers, fantasy sports providers, Internet and computer security firms, hedge funds, and a variety of traditional brick and mortar businesses in connection with their online and offline practices. Despite our boutique status, we likely have the largest and deepest group of attorneys in our areas of expertise because – unlike firms that show a large practice group, but only a handful of lawyers actually do the work – all of our attorneys are dedicated to this practice and have years of experience helping clients both proactively and reactively. Our collaborative nature also means that we will always involve the most appropriate ZwillGen lawyer to tackle a particular question. Sine the firm’s founding, ZwillGen has been consistently recognized and ranked by some of the legal industry's leading publications for our client service and commitment to diversity. Most recently, the firm was raked in Chambers USA for its privacy and security work for the 13th consecutive year. In 2023, ZwillGen was also voted by industry peers as a Best Law Firm for Privacy and Data Security. Other publications that have recognized ZwillGen for its work include Vault’s Top 50 Under 150, the GDR 100, U.S. News & World Report’s Best Law Firms, BTI’s Most Recommended Law Firms, and Law360’s Practice Group of the Year. Law360 has also recognized ZwillGen as a leading law firm for female attorneys and partners.

We exist to make work better by letting you focus solely on what matters. We are your trusted assistants. This entire journey started because Michelle, our CEO & Co-founder couldn’t get a job due to her being a military spouse.
