New Ventures Team Member Spotlight: Suzanne McNabb

core/heading

I’m <a href="https://www.thompsonhine.com/professionals/suzanne-c-mcnabb/">Suzanne McNabb</a>, senior counsel in the firm’s New Ventures practice group. I work with private companies (middle-market and emerging businesses), investment funds, early-stage investors, lenders and individuals in corporate and finance transactions. Every day I help clients who need general corporate counseling, who are considering starting new businesses, who are buying or selling a business (family-owned, venture-backed or otherwise), who are looking to bring in a new partner or buy out an existing partner, or who need advice on financing a business via private investors, fund investors, venture-debt or traditional commercial debt. I am practical and a problem-solver by nature, and I enjoy helping our clients achieve their desired business goals.

core/paragraph

I have three school-age children, so add chauffeur and professional spectator to my list of skills. I am an active volunteer at my children’s schools, and I interview high school seniors applying to Trinity College. I just rolled off as a board member of The American Red Cross Greater Cincinnati – Dayton Chapter (ask me about our Home Fire Campaign!) and active board member for The Cincinnati Country Club.

This past month we discussed data privacy compliance. Data privacy and consumer rights are growing concerns among the states, given the frequent adoption of new laws. While data privacy requirements are currently handled at the state level, companies must stay on top of newly passed legislation, how they differ and what applies to them. We explored the evolution and proliferation of privacy laws in the U.S. as well as their key differences and similarities.
