Our attorneys are constantly at the forefront of changes in the law affecting our clients in order to better serve them.

Some of the most frequent legal issues our clients seek counseling for include: breach notification requirements, hacking, physical laptop or smartphone loss containing client data, employee errors causing data loss or exposure, fraudulent transfers, extortion, and business partner breaches. Depending on the data at issue, HIPAA, the Video Privacy Protection Act, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the Driver’s Privacy Protection Act, and the Electronic Communications Privacy Act are some examples of federal statutes that may apply to certain cyber and privacy events. Our attorneys regularly represent large institutional clients with dedicated in-house counsel, and work hand-in-hand with general counsel to achieve an intimate understanding of our clients’ needs in order to provide cost-effective, high-quality services. We also emphasize preventive legal strategies to manage their legal risks. Manufacturers Manufacturing is a cornerstone to any successful economy, and we take great pride in work to help move the industry along.

Our attorneys have vast experience in both prosecuting and defending high-level defamation claims involving corporate entities, including publicly-traded companies and media defendants, as well as individual company directors, officers, media reporters and the like. By way of example, in one such action, we successfully maintained a federal action in Texas on behalf of the world’s largest services provider relating to allegations of bribery and other crimes resulting in the initial loss of a $1 Billion international contract. The case was resolved in favor of our client and against the largest multi-media conglomerate. In the process, we also uncovered a massive, organized smear campaign by industry competitors. Another such action surrounded claims of criminal conduct by a well-known, publicly-traded media defendant involving discrete issues of the First Amendment, journalist’s privilege, and defense of confidential informants. A number of other cases involve, typically, allegations of dishonest/fraudulent/criminal acts which are the subject of defamation claims.
