    Third-Party Cybersecurity Strategies Critical to Preparedness

    By DAVID F. KATZ, RICHARD D. SMITH, ELIZABETH K. HINSON, JASON MARK ANDERMAN AND SARAH STATZ | August 7, 2017

    Understanding third-party service provider relationships and the security risks they present to any organization is an essential element of cybersecurity planning. Bad actors continue to exploit the risks presented by third-party service providers that maintain access to corporate-owned information systems. Over the last several years, companies have found themselves the victim of costly and high profile data breaches occurring as a result of a third-party service provider's security failures. See, e.g., In re Target Corp. Data Sec. Breach Litig., 66 F. Supp. 3d 1154 (D. Minn. 2014); In re: The Home Depot, Inc., Customer Data Sec. Breach Litig., No. 1:14-MD-2583-TWT, 2016 WL 2897520, at 1 (N.D. Ga. May 18, 2016).

    In-House Counsel Can and Should Collect Attorney Fees

    By Daniel K. Wiig | August 4, 2017

    When weighing his post-Senate career options, then-U.S. Sen. Howard "Buck" McKeon rejected an offer from a prominent law firm, opting not to "live his life in six-minute increments." Indeed, it is with fair certainty to state a top reason lawyers in private practice transition to in-house is to escape the billable hour. And while the imminent death of the billable hour may have been highly exaggerated (again and again), it remains the predominate metric for private-practice attorneys handling commercial work to track their time and collect fees.
