Timothy M. Banks advises organizations where privacy is a core operating risk—helping legal and privacy teams translate Canadian requirements into implementable decisions for technology initiatives, data governance and contracting. His practice covers the full privacy lifecycle: accountability, consent and purpose limitation, retention, access, safeguards and breach response, and cross-border transfers—with a strong emphasis on procurement and digital transformation. He is particularly active for institutional investors with large real estate portfolios, healthcare organizations, and consumer technology businesses deploying connected-device and account ecosystems. Clients often treat him as a standing resource for recurring issue-spotting, escalation triage and knowledge transfer. He recently moved his practice to the Timothy M. Banks Professional Corporation. He is the author of multiple editions of The Privacy Officer’s Guide to the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (Lexis Nexis Canada), including the 2026 edition.
