About Timothy Lawrence
Timothy Lawrence DeGeorge began his academic path at Syracuse University, where he studied television, radio and film management at the S.I. Newhouse School while completing a minor in policy studies at the Maxwell School. He later attended the University of Denver Sturm College of Law and earned his J.D., combining an understanding of media and public policy with formal legal training.
Those dual threads—media and policy—shape how he approaches legal problems. His undergraduate background gave him an early familiarity with communications industries and the regulatory questions that follow. Law school added doctrinal study and practical skills that prepared him for work across several jurisdictions.
DeGeorge is admitted to practice in New York, Colorado and Florida. He holds the CIPP/US certification from the International Association of Privacy Professionals, a credential that indicates familiarity with U.S. privacy laws, data protection frameworks and common compliance obligations. That credential is increasingly relevant as state and federal rules evolve and companies adjust their data-handling practices.
He practices at GUILLEN | DEGEORGE, LLP. At the firm he advises clients on matters that intersect privacy, technology and corporate compliance. His work involves counseling on regulatory requirements, assisting with internal policies and procedures, and responding to incidents that implicate personal data.
Colleagues describe him as methodical and attentive to detail. He draws on both his communications background and legal training when he assesses risk and crafts contractual language. That combination helps when legal problems require an understanding of how information moves within an organization and how outside rules apply to that flow.
Outside the office he has stayed connected to developments in privacy and data law through continuing education and professional certification. His multisector background makes him comfortable explaining technical topics to business leaders and translating regulatory obligations into operational steps.
He currently concentrates his practice on privacy law, data compliance and related corporate matters.
