Grant Greenwood

Grant Greenwood counsels businesses in many industries to address a wide range of legal, business, and operational issues with particular attention to various employment and information privacy and security issues, among others. Grant considers himself to be his clients’ business partner, putting their best interests at the forefront of everything he does. Bringing a candid, straightforward approach to his client communications, he does not tell those he represents what they want to hear, but rather what they need to hear. He views these collaborations as tools companies can use to grow their business and achieve their objectives. Grant is committed to being a good steward of client resources, and is always mindful of opportunities to achieve client objectives efficiently.

Employers turn to Grant to handle complex contract negotiations and help them navigate an array of employment problems and crises, including terminations, allegations of discrimination, investigations, and, increasingly, concerns about the impact of artificial intelligence on labor forces. He also represents them in investigations conducted by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and other governmental agencies.
Certified by the International Association of Privacy Professionals, Grant provides counsel on matters involving the privacy and security of business data and personally identifiable information (PII), as well as data breaches. Clients rely on him to assist them with privacy compliance programs and incident response preparedness, tabletops and data recovery. He draws on his understanding of HIPAA/HITECH, GLBA, FERPA, and other state data protection, privacy, security, and breach notification laws, rules, and regulations.
Grant is also a registered neutral with the Georgia Office of Dispute Resolution and is available to handle mediations and arbitrations in all manner of civil disputes.
