Cybersecurity

Our global lawyers can help you with all aspects of data cybersecurity law. Notable experience in this field includes:

• designing and operationalizing breach response policies and procedures to cover over 24 global jurisdictions, including the 50 US states, Puerto Rico, the UK and the EU for a Fortune 50 publicly traded technology company
• providing full-spectrum advice for a global medical device manufacturing company which suffered multiple data breaches, including a ransomware attack impacting their global operations
• representing the subsidiary of one of the largest financial services firms in the publicly announced FCA and ICO enforcement investigation, following a significant cybersecurity breach in the US. This continues to be one of the largest incidents reported in recent times, and we have worked closely with the client to ensure consistency in approach across multiple jurisdictions and multiple contemporaneous regulatory investigation and claims activity
• advising a large US health insurer on a high-profile breach that affected more than one million individuals. The response required public notification (including state and HIPAA notifications), and class-action defense (three jurisdictions and cert petition to the US Supreme Court). Additionally, we engaged with the FBI and the US National Cyber Investigative Joint Task Force relative to the incident
• advising an international bank and a global life sciences client on major programs to revise procurement contracting processes and the clauses they adopt globally for cybersecurity to comply with international sector and subject matter laws in their vendor management programs
