Innovative Approach
With an emphasis on integrating law with technology and security practices, Buchalter Cyber Investigations and Data Rights Enforcement attorneys provide corporate cyberlaw and risk advisory to boards of directors, Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs), mid-market businesses, and enterprises in need of solutions for protecting information and digital assets. Our interdisciplinary method ensures that the prevailing strategy of “security by design” includes innovative legal protection mechanisms for our clients.
The service offerings of Fractional Cyberlaw for CISOs and Boardroom Cyberlaw are sample ways that our team engages with clients regularly and at early stages of security planning alongside the client. With cyberattacks growing in severity and litigation risk mounting, our cyberlaw attorneys are eager to function as integral and trusted advisors in the client’s cybersecurity program.
An important advantage of our fractional offerings is the timely and seamless transition to Data Breach Coaching in the event the client experiences a cyberattack.
Data Breach Coaching
Attorneys and retained incident response consultants from the Buchalter Cyber Investigations and Data Rights Enforcement group respond to client emergencies from cyberattacks. While helping to restore confidentiality, integrity and availability of networks and sensitive data, the hallmark of our Data Breach Coaching service is protecting our clients and their brands from the myriad risks arising from ransomware attacks, fraudulent monetary transfers, loss of sensitive data, and litigation exposure. By orchestrating the investigation with a focus on privacy data and other legal duties, our cyberlaw attorneys make maximum use of privilege and other pre-litigation tactics to manage the legal risks that may arise from a cyberattack.
The national security law backgrounds of many of our attorneys, with relationships with the FBI, InfraGard, DHS, state attorneys general, and other important stakeholders in the cyber sector, help steer our clients toward the optimal risk mitigation strategies to minimize our clients’ risk exposure.
Other Key Focus Areas
While maximizing privilege to protect our clients, our cyberlaw attorneys orchestrate investigations using digital forensic examiners, cyber threat hunters, open source investigators, crypto analysts and other resources to unmask bad actors, uncover facts, establish privacy compliance, and help clients enforce their asset rights.

OTHER HIGHLIGHTS OF THIS INDUSTRY SPECIALTY GROUP
Digital Identity and Data Rights Enforcement
Working with technicians in Web3 and Blockchain technology, crypto and data assets, artificial intelligence, and supporting the emerging name-image-likeness (NIL) industry, our attorneys help protect digital identity and enforce data rights against misuse and mischief. We pursue takedowns and help enforce claimant rights to counter the rampant misuse and theft of data assets.
Takedowns (Social Media Abuse and other Infringing Misuse of Data)
Whether the offending act is an infringement of intellectual property, NIL or other data rights, or other forms of online bullying, harassment or threats, Cyber Investigations and Data Rights Enforcement attorneys develop evidence and pursue enforcement actions against the offenders or the platform publishing the content. A variety of authorities and strategies are employed, including retaining cyber threat hunters, to unmask and identify bad actors attempting to keep their unlawful online activity anonymous.
Cyberlaw Experience and Interdisciplinary Teams
Our innovative approach derives from our team’s extensive and decades-long cybersecurity experience, which includes national security cyber in the military JAG Corps and with the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security, as well as defending class action data breach lawsuits. Our attorneys have previously served at the nerve centers and operational cyber commands at federal and state levels, have taught cybersecurity at law schools and major universities, and have provided legal and strategy assistance for some of the most notorious cyberattacks in history.
We also routinely retain technical advisors and investigators to form a cohesive, integrated solution team. The Cyber Investigations and Data Rights Enforcement group works regularly with Buchalter’s State Attorneys General group, and our practice areas in Artificial Intelligence, Privacy and Data Security, Corporate Law, Entertainment Industry Law, and other practice areas to fashion novel solutions for our clients.
