Dominic Paluzzi selected to Cybersecurity Docket's Incident Response 40

McDonald Hopkins is proud to congratulate member and Data Privacy and Cybersecurity Co-Chair Dominic Paluzzi on his selection to Cybersecurity Docket's Incident Response 40 for 2022.

Cybersecurity Docket calls the Incident Response 40 "our list of the 40 best data breach response lawyers in the business. Based on nominations, input from numerous senior lawyers and other professionals in the field, and considerable research, we tried to answer a simple question: Who would you hire if your company suddenly found itself the victim of a data breach?"

Cybersecurity Docket also imposed the following three requirements: 

• Candidates for the Incident Response 40 must be in the private sector for at least the past two years.
• Candidates for the Incident Response 40 must have a practice that is dedicated primarily to data breach response work.
• Candidates for the Incident Response 40 must be attorneys (as opposed to accountants, economists or other experts).

Paluzzi was also recognized by Cybersecurity Docket in 2016 and 2018. He advises organizations on data privacy and cybersecurity risks on both a national and international basis, including proactive compliance, incident response strategies and management, and defense of regulatory enforcement actions and single-plaintiff and class action litigation. Paluzzi has counseled clients through over 5,000 data breaches and privacy incidents where he works closely with local, state and federal law enforcement, forensic investigators and third-party cybersecurity vendors to offer his clients efficient and effective breach response services in compliance with the numerous state, federal, international and industry-specific legal obligations.
