Crowell & Moring’s Privacy and Cybersecurity Group has been named a Practice Group of the Year for 2023 by Law360.
Crowell’s Privacy and Cybersecurity Group guides and counsels businesses globally as they operate in an environment marked by evolving and complex data protection laws and relentless cyber attacks by both private and state-sponsored actors. The group includes lawyers with extensive government, in-house, consulting, and technical experience across multiple industries.
In a profile about the group, Law360 reported: “Launched about 10 years ago, Crowell & Moring’s privacy and cybersecurity group has evolved into one of the top practices in the country, advising major corporations on the types of technology issues that have come to affect any business with a networked computer.”
“We are honored to receive this recognition from Law360,” said Evan Wolff, co-chair of the Privacy and Cybersecurity Group. “Our global approach to client service allows to provide invaluable support no matter the jurisdiction and meet the evolving needs of businesses.”
The firm was recognized for its work counseling U.S. Department of Defense contractors on cybersecurity maturity model certification, as well as “when several companies turned to the practice for help in the wake of a ransomware attack on file transfer platform MOVEit Transfer.”
Additionally, Law360 noted that the firm’s “combination of technology savvy and litigation [experience] translated into Crowell & Moring’s successful shutdown of major sources of ransomware attacks.”
“Our clients are facing a rising tide of regulation in response to technological advances and increased bad actors, from AI to ransomware to hacking,” said Jeffrey Poston, co-chair of the Privacy and Cybersecurity Group. “The breadth of our practice group assures our clients that no matter the issue, we have the experience to support them.”
