Technical Assessment for Law Firms and Legal Departments

Law firms and corporate legal departments are asked to advise on obligations that depend on technical facts: whether encryption was in place, whether access was controlled, whether a program was reasonable. We provide the technical assessment and expertise behind that advice, for your clients and for your own organization.

How we support counsel

• Regulatory technical control assessments. Privacy, AI, financial services, healthcare, and government contractor requirements measured control by control.

• Consulting expert services. Privileged technical analysis under counsel's direction.

• Expert witness services. Reports and testimony on security practice, control adequacy, and incident causation.

• Reasonable security opinions. Written assessments against the standard a statute, regulation, or contract applies.

• Regulatory inquiry and examination support. Technical response support before state attorneys general, the FTC, HHS OCR, the SEC, and banking regulators.

• Incident response through counsel. Response and forensics structured to support privilege.

• Contract and DPA review. Confirming that security commitments are operationally achievable.

Security for your own firm

Firms hold their clients' most sensitive information and face outside counsel guidelines, client security audits, and professional obligations regarding confidentiality and technology competence. We assess and strengthen the firm's own program so it withstands client scrutiny.

Frequently asked questions

Can engagements be structured to support privilege?

Yes. When counsel retains us and directs the work to support legal advice, we structure engagement terms, communications, and deliverables to support attorney-client privilege and work product protection, which counsel establishes and maintains.

How do you handle conflicts?

Every engagement is conflict-checked at intake, and expert engagements are maintained separately from advisory relationships. Both the firm and the prospective client retain the right to decline an engagement.
