Two Questions: (1) Does a Chief Privacy Officer need to maintain an active law license? (2) Similarly, does a Chief Compliance Officer need to maintain an active law license? Non-practicing attorney here, wondering if it’s worth the hassle of maintaining an active law license if CPO (Health Tech Company); or CCO (Healthcare Company) is my end goal. Thanks in Advance!

Depends on the company and whether those are treated as bolt-on titles to a legal role at the company, or whether the function sits in Legal. My suggestion would be to maintain the license until you land in one of those roles and learn you can go inactive.

Agree with L1.
I’ve seen plenty of awesome CPOs that aren’t attorneys at all, but I see a lot of job descriptions calling for an active license in at least one state.

Check your state requirements carefully as some don’t require CLEs if you don’t practice law and so all you need to do is cover the annual fee.

By maintain you mean pay the dues and take the adequate number of CLE’s? That doesn’t seem that that tall of a task.

Hi all,
Been doing privacy for about a year now in-house. Got my CIPP/US.
Having major imposter syndrome still. I feel like the minute I finally have a grasp, something changes. The law and nuances just seem overwhelming. Maybe it’s just a lack of guidance/uniformity in the US. I’m not sure if I feel this way because it is simply the nature of the work or because I’m just not capable.
