Experience

Representation in Cyber Incident Response and Remediation

Representation of private and governmental entities in all aspects of cyber incident response, including working with federal and state authorities, conducting forensic investigations, guiding mitigation and remediation efforts, ensuring compliance with federal and state notification and other regulatory obligations and enforcement actions.

Representation of Health Care Clients in OCR/HIPAA Enforcement Actions and Investigations

Representation of numerous health care clients in OCR investigations relating to alleged HIPAA violations. The vast majority of these investigations have resulted in OCR deciding either: 1) no breach or violation occurred or 2) to close its investigation after the client’s response and documentation were provided.

Defense of Data Breach Class Actions

Representation of health care and other industry clients in data breach class action litigation in both federal and state courts, drawing upon extensive expertise in litigation, data privacy and security laws and regulations, and data breach incident response and remediation, achieving dismissal of claims, successful narrowing of classes and prevailing on class certification, and favorable resolutions for clients up to and including outright dismissal.

Dispute Over Physician Compensation

We represented a medical practice in a case in Northern Kentucky in which one of the practice’s former physicians was contending that he was owed several hundreds of thousands of dollars of additional compensation associated with his departure from the practice. The case culminated in a bench trial. At the conclusion of the bench trial proceedings, the judge agreed with our arguments associated with the interpretation of the pertinent contracts, and dismissed all of the Plaintiff’s claims.
