Mintz Levin Forms Dedicated Cybersecurity Risk Management Group; Unveils "Safety Suite" of Specialized ServicesAs increasingly serious cyber attacks pose mounting threats to businesses across industry, Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C. has formed a dedicated Cybersecurity Risk Management group as part of its long established Privacy & Security practice. Encompassing a "safety suite" of specialized services geared towards cyber breach prevention, resolution and remediation, the Cyber Security Risk Management group works with clients to develop cyber awareness, plan for incident response, test existing plans as well as prepare for future intrusions, data breaches and cyber incidents - all under the protection of attorney-client privilege. Services offered as part of the "safety suite" are delivered on a project fee basis - an alternative fee arrangement that doesn't rely solely on hourly rates - and is customized to meet individual client needs. "In a world where cyber attacks and data breaches are escalating dramatically, Mintz Levin's (News - Alert) Privacy & Security attorneys are playing a crucial role in helping clients plan for worst-case scenarios, reduce exposure to damaging incidents and fines and recover after breaches have occurred," said Cynthia Larose, Chair of the Privacy & Security practice at Mintz Levin. "As companies look to mitigate the risk of threats on all fronts - across state lines and international borders - they are recognizing the need to proactively work with legal counsel to address compliance, insurance and incident response to ensure that operational, reputational, legal and financial risks are minimized to the extent possible." The Mintz Levin Cybersecurity Risk Management group recently expanded to include Mark E. Robinson, a nationally recognized expert in govenment investigations and enforcement, cybersecurity defense and a former deputy chief of the Criminal Division of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). Mr. Robinson joined as a Member in the firm's Boston office. The group has also added attorneys Ari Moskowitz, CIPP and Peter Day (News - Alert), who will serve in Washington, D.C. and San Diego, respectively, further enhancing the firm's scope of expertise in privacy and security matters nationwide. Mintz Levin's Privacy & Security practice has been consistently recognized by Chambers Global and Chambers USA. Its practitioners, many of whom are Certified Information Privacy Professionals (CIPPs) with specific U.S. and European Union specialties, offer expert counsel and vigorous representation. They work closely with attorneys across several diverse practice areas to provide integrated, multidisciplinary counsel addressing how cybersecurity issues relate to such matters as transactions, SEC (News - Alert) disclosure, HIPAA and management of third-party vendor relationships, among others. They also consult with boards of directors regarding cybersecurity, cyber liability insurance, and investigations into the internal misappropriation of data and trade secrets. Clients further benefit from the expertise of the firm's government relations consulting affiliate ML Strategies, which provides data breach-related crisis communications.
