Brandon N. Robinson is a shareholder at Maynard Nexsen, where he leads the firm’s national practice group focused on cybersecurity, data privacy, and emerging technologies. In addition to his national and international cybersecurity and privacy practice, Brandon has deep experience at the intersection of digital infrastructure and next‑generation connectivity—regularly advising clients across the fiber, broadband, and data center ecosystem.   He works closely with fiber owners and operators, ISPs, utilities, and data center developers, as well as cybersecurity and technology companies, on issues spanning regulatory compliance, infrastructure deployment, federal funding strategies, and complex contractual matters. Brandon’s work includes supporting fiber network buildouts, broadband expansion initiatives, data center readiness and risk management, and innovation efforts tied to modernization and large‑scale connectivity projects. His experience also extends to industry and regulatory frameworks (e.g., CMMC, NERC CIP, NIST, EU AI Act, etc.) that shape critical infrastructure security, performance, and innovation.

Beyond infrastructure, Brandon continues to counsel clients on emerging technology and data-intensive matters, including artificial intelligence (“AI”) for both AI consumers and providers, where technological advancement increasingly relies on high‑capacity fiber networks and data‑center growth. The intersections of Brandon’s practices are increasingly important and relevant as both data consumers and providers navigate a quickly evolving legal and regulatory landscape to address cybersecurity and privacy in a world of increasing data needs and opportunities.  Brandon regularly speaks at national conferences on these issues and collaborates with industry working groups to help organizations navigate opportunities and risks associated with today’s digital infrastructure.
