Jay Mitchell is a partner in the firm’s Healthcare and FDA practice group, where he advises healthcare and technology companies on complex regulatory, privacy, cybersecurity, and commercial matters. Drawing on experience advising major companies and their boards at leading global law firms and serving as a senior in-house legal and compliance executive at a healthcare services business, Jay brings a business-oriented perspective to helping clients navigate regulatory complexity, manage risk, and bring data-driven products and services to market.
Jay advises clients on healthcare regulatory requirements, including HIPAA and federal healthcare program obligations; federal and state privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA); cybersecurity and data breach response; and the legal and regulatory issues arising from the development and use of artificial intelligence. He counsels clients on digital health and AI-enabled products and services, health data governance, and technology and commercial transactions, including agreements with customers, vendors, government entities, and healthcare providers. His work includes arrangements involving sensitive data, HIPAA business associate agreements, and cybersecurity obligations. He also advises on regulatory investigations, litigation, and enterprise risk management.
Jay holds the Fellow of Information Privacy (FIP) designation and the Certified Information Privacy Professional/United States (CIPP/US), Certified Information Privacy Manager (CIPM), and Certified Information Privacy Technologist (CIPT) certifications. He also holds a Harvard University Executive Certificate in Cybersecurity Risk Management.

This is a temporary biography. A complete biography will be available soon.

Prior to joining the firm, Jay served as vice president and senior assistant general counsel at the nation’s largest provider of government-outsourced occupational health and disability examination services, where he led the legal and compliance function for a healthcare services business serving federal healthcare programs and commercial clients across the United States and internationally. He advised executive leadership on regulatory and contractual compliance, privacy, cybersecurity, and enterprise risk, and oversaw a broad range of legal and compliance matters. His in-house experience gives him a practical understanding of the operational and commercial considerations that shape legal decisions in highly regulated businesses.
Earlier in his career, Jay spent nearly a decade in private practice at global law firms, advising major companies and their boards on privacy, cybersecurity, enterprise risk management, product counseling, regulatory compliance, and crisis response. He also represented companies in high-stakes litigation and regulatory investigations involving federal and state agencies.
