About David Christopher

David Christopher McCuaig studied law at American University Washington College of Law. The program gave him a foundation in core legal subjects and an entry into practice at a time when technology and privacy law were starting to change quickly. He carried that perspective into his early work and into later professional choices.

After law school he established a practice in California. Over the years he developed legal skills applicable to the tech-heavy, data-driven disputes that come across many modern law desks. His practice has covered counseling and compliance work as well as advisory roles on transactional matters. He earned certification from the International Association of Privacy Professionals, signaling formal training on international privacy standards and practices.

McCuaig holds licensure in California. He built a practice that engages with corporate clients, outside counsel teams, and internal legal departments. His work often involves interpretive questions about privacy rules, cross-border data transfers, and organizational responses to regulatory inquiries. He writes and advises in clear, practical terms rather than relying on abstract theory.

Colleagues describe him as methodical in approach. He breaks complex statutory and regulatory materials into manageable parts. That habit serves both litigation preparedness and transactional negotiation. His certification as a Certified Information Privacy Professional reflects training in privacy law and an ongoing connection to emerging legal issues in that area.

Over time McCuaig has worked to keep pace with shifting privacy frameworks and enforcement trends. He has handled matters that require coordination across teams and across jurisdictions. He aims to provide advice that legal teams and corporate decision-makers can act on. He balances risk assessment with pragmatic steps a business can implement.

He practices at Sona Law Corporation. There he continues to advise clients on privacy, data protection, and related commercial issues. He maintains professional engagement with peers and participates in continuing education tied to privacy and technology law. His current practice concentrates on privacy and data protection matters.
