When an organization has been implicated in a cyberattack, breach, or other potential compromise of IT systems or data, we help our clients navigate and manage the legal obligations and reputational risks.

We’ve handled many of the biggest and most complex breaches. Developed incident preparedness strategies for top companies across industries and around the world. Advised boards on how to best manage risk. And deployed legal and technical resources in an instant to provide full-spectrum support for an incident.

This includes the privileged retention of forensic vendors. Conducting sophisticated internal investigations. Engaging with law enforcement and other government officials. Leading crisis management and communications. Translating technical assessments into practical explanations of legal and business risk. Guiding notifications. And defending high-stakes litigation.

From the biggest and the worst breaches to your day-to-day questions, we are ready to respond.
