Will Bracker

Primary Area of Focus: Privacy and cybersecurity law, Incident response planning and breach response, Cybersecurity program development and risk assessment


Will Bracker is a privacy and cybersecurity attorney whose career bridges two worlds most lawyers never touch. Before law school, Will spent two decades in information technology — working hands-on and as a team lead in both in-house and consulting roles, and ultimately moving into cybersecurity. That deep technical foundation is what makes his legal advice distinctive: he understands not just what the law says, but how systems actually work, where they fail, and what it really takes to protect a company’s digital infrastructure. After law school, Will joined his former technology company in-house, advising on privacy and cybersecurity from inside the law and policy team. He early-retired from that role to launch Bracker & Holder with his partner Olivia, where he now counsels businesses across a wide range of industries on cybersecurity programs, incident response planning, risk assessments, breach response, and the legal frameworks surrounding privacy and data protection.

Will is also an adjunct professor at his law school alma mater, where he is helping build out the privacy and cybersecurity law program. He teaches four classes there, including the first experiential course in cybersecurity law in the state of Georgia.
