Dickinson Wright PLLC is pleased to announce that Attorney Justin L. Root has been named to Cybersecurity Docket’s 2018 “Incident Response 30,” recognizing his selection as one of “the 30 best and brightest Incident Response legal and compliance professionals in the industry.” The announcement, made at the 2018 Incident Response Forum in Washington, DC, recognizes professionals in the data security and incident response field whom their peers in the industry nominated as “the kind of professionals critical to have on speed-dial when the inevitable data breach occurs.”
Mr. Root, Of Counsel in Dickinson Wright’s Columbus, Ohio office, co-chairs the firm’s Data Privacy and Cybersecurity practice for its U.S. offices. In addition to being a certified computer forensic examiner, Mr. Root’s highly credentialed data privacy and cybersecurity background includes work as a cybercrime investigator on the FBI’s cybercrime task force, as a Special Agent with the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation’s Cyber Crime Unit, and as a techno-legal subject matter expert for several organizations.
“We are pleased by and proud of Justin’s nomination and selection to the Incident Response 30,” said Bill Burgess, the firm’s CEO. “Data privacy and cybersecurity concerns touch every area of modern business and industry, and we are extremely happy to have such capable and qualified attorneys, as demonstrated by Justin’s national recognition, to advise and guide our clients with those needs.”
Jacob Frenkel, Chair of the firm’s Government Investigations and Securities Enforcement Practice, echoed Mr. Burgess’ sentiments. “Justin’s skill set is most valuable domestically and internationally, spanning compliance, investigations, litigation and corporate monitorships. With the SEC, securities regulators, the states and international bodies having imposed cybersecurity directives that impact directly public companies’ disclosures and private company considerations about cybersecurity risks and incidents, our clients benefit daily from the insights and experience of our cybersecurity attorneys who understand these precise issues on a technical and regulatory level.”
“I am honored to be selected for this distinction among our country’s preeminent and cutting-edge data privacy and cybersecurity practitioners and thinkers,” said Mr. Root. “I have the privilege of working with an outstanding team of data privacy and investigations attorneys with stellar credentials, and I am pleased to add this recognition to the practice group’s list of accomplishments.”
