She is the lead associate and architect of DLA's proprietary Privacy, Governance, and Security Frameworks, which are cross-functional models that have driven enterprise-wide privacy program transformation at some of the largest and most sophisticated companies. Through this work she has demonstrated leadership in translating complex and rapidly evolving privacy laws into pragmatic, scalable governance structures that align with information security, compliance, and corporate operations.
She is recognized as a key advisor for nuanced issues involving children's data and a trusted counselor in the health data space. She routinely advises clients navigating state consumer health and biometric laws, emerging US privacy frameworks, and sector-specific laws on both the state and federal level. She advises both Fortune 100 and high-growth startup companies on privacy, security, and incident response management, leveraging her deep experience developing and operationalizing global frameworks.
Madison frequently speaks and writes on cutting-edge privacy and data protection issues, including developments in the US state privacy laws, children's data regulation, and data governance. Her thought leadership has been featured in firm and outside legal publications, industry panels, and client trainings, where she offers practical insights on translating complex legal standards into operational activities.
Madison brings experience from her time on the global privacy team of a medical device company, where she advised on privacy-impacting business initiatives, emerging technologies, privacy rights requests, and data-related contract negotiations. This in-house experience gives her a strong strategic perspective on how privacy requirements intersect with and can meaningfully shape business operations and product development.
She has also served as a law clerk for the Attorney General of California in the Public Rights Division and a judicial intern for the Honorable Daniel E. Butcher in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California.
