Children’s Privacy & Ed Tech

ZwillGen helps companies offering services—whether directed to children, teens, mixed audiences, or students—navigate the complex requirements of Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), and state student privacy laws such as California’s Student Online Personal Information Protection Act (SOPIPA) and New York State Education Law 2-d. Leveraging our attorneys’ previous experiences at the FTC and state AGs, we assist our clients in analyzing whether services are directed to children, developing COPPA-compliant data collection plans and parental consent flows, and drafting student data protection agreements. We also represent clients before regulators investigating potential violations of children’s privacy laws.

Billing That Works the Way You Do

We aren’t a typical law firm and we don’t bill like one either. We customize our billing practices to fit each client’s needs—building flexibility, transparency, and trust into every engagement. Whether through flat fees, monthly retainers, or competitive hourly rates, we focus on delivering clear value and predictable results, so you can plan confidently and stay focused on what matters most.

  • <h5>MONTHLY RETAINERS</h5>
    1

    MONTHLY RETAINERS

    We handle all of the legal work in a given area or subject matter for a monthly retainer, which we can adjust upward or downward as the work ebbs and flows.

  • <h5>FLAT/PROJECT FEES</h5>
    2

    FLAT/PROJECT FEES

    Under this model, we take the risk that we have underestimated the time that needs to be spent. If it takes longer, you still don’t pay more. If we are very efficient, we get the benefit of our efficiency.

  • <h5>COMPETITIVE HOURLY RATES</h5>
    3

    COMPETITIVE HOURLY RATES

    Because we work collectively to solve your problems, a majority of our attorneys are available for the same hourly rate, except our Fellows and Junior Attorneys who bill at lower rates and are perfect for tasks you don’t want to pay a legal veteran to do.
