Ferguson Braswell Fraser Kubasta PC’s Post

One key issue has become a “make-or-break” for businesses during the current boom in #MergersAndAcquisitions: Inadequate privacy and data security practices. Privacy and information security due diligence used to be a “nice-to-have.” Now that personal data collection is subject to a complex and inconsistent mix of both state, federal and global data privacy regulations, due diligence is at the core of why many deals happen — or don’t. Or happen and lose money. Join us September 25 for an insightful online panel discussion on Data Privacy and Cybersecurity Considerations in M&A Transactions. This 1-hour session is for professionals in the M&A and corporate growth sectors. Our expert panelists Todd Friedland and Stephen Toland, CIPP/US from Ferguson Braswell Fraser Kubasta PC and Will Sweeney from Zaviant will offer crucial insights into managing #dataprivacy #cybersecurity risks during mergers and acquisitions. Learn how to safeguard your transactions, ensure compliance, and protect sensitive information in today’s increasingly digital landscape!

As we push through the week, here’s a little reminder from Ferguson Braswell Fraser Kubasta PC: Maintain Perspective. Yes, we’re all about excellence, but let’s be real—some of today’s “crises” are tomorrow’s “I can’t believe I stressed over that.” The world has bigger problems than that email thread that just won’t die. Stuff happens, and sometimes the printer refuses to cooperate. But hey, deep breaths—it’s just paper. Focus on what you can control (like making sure your coffee cup is never empty) and don’t sweat the rest. After all, stressing about things outside our control won’t help… #WednesdayWisdom #KeepCalmAndPerspective #FBFKWay #FBFKWay

Reflecting on our First Annual Ferguson Braswell Fraser Kubasta PC Leadership Retreat! What an incredible experience it was to step away from the daily grind and dive into a fun weekend! 18 passionate leaders gathered to connect and build upon our leadership skills with the brilliant guidance of David Friedman from CultureWise. From horseback riding and shooting to fly fishing, biking, hiking, and even some unforgettable karaoke performances we made the most of every moment! But beyond the adventures, we took time to revisit our FBFK fundamentals, reflecting on how we live, work, and lead at #FBFKLaw. It was a powerful reminder of the principles that guide us in our personal and professional life. Thank you everyone who participated Kyle Ferguson Paul K.
