Jacob Canter

Associate


Jacob Canter helps technology companies and companies that rely on technology succeed. Jacob’s litigation practice focuses on technology (e.g., intellectual property, the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, the Biometric Information Privacy Act, state privacy laws, contracts, and licensing) and competition litigation (e.g., antitrust, state competition laws, and founders’ disputes). His counseling practice focuses on compliance with state, federal, and international privacy laws; technology licensing; and cybersecurity incident response.

Jacob sits in the San Francisco office and is a member of the Litigation and Privacy and Cybersecurity practice groups. He joined the firm after a year of practice at an international law firm in Washington, D.C., and a year clerking in the Southern District of New York for the Hon. Lorna G. Schofield. During law school, Jacob launched the school’s election law outreach program and pro bono project.
