Representative Matters - Cybersecurity


  • We represented an Argentinian mining company in connection with the successful recovery of payments totaling over $2 million wrongfully obtained through a sophisticated act of cyber fraud. The cyber-attacker had posed as an employee of a technology company with a long-standing business relationship with our client and set up a pseudo email account using a domain name similar to that of the technology company, thereafter extorting money from the client using bogus invoices. Working closely with the client and multiple federal agencies (FBI, Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Attorney General’s office, and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement office), we investigate the cyberattack, identified its source, and obtained the return of over $2 million wrongfully obtained through cyber fraud.
  • We provided advice regarding legal and regulatory disclosure requirements, in the immediate hours following a cyber-attack, to a biotech company with thousands of customers spanning multiple jurisdictions. We worked closely with the client’s external IT support team to determine and remediate issues that directly affected the client’s immediate legal obligations, such as whether data exfiltration or infiltration occurred. We resolved the matter favorably and the applicable regulators ultimately declined to take any action against the client in connection with the cyber incident.
  • For a data company client, we assessed and determined their compliance with legal and regulatory obligations pertaining to cybersecurity, providing a review of the issues.
  • We counseled and advised several limited liability companies and business owners in connection with matters pertaining to compliance with New York cybersecurity laws and regulations, helping them establish company-wide preemptive and protective measures to ensure legal and regulatory compliance.
