Angelo A. Stio III Quoted in New Jersey Law Journal Article, 'Client Cybersecurity Demands Drive Burgeoning Practices'
Angelo A. Stio III, a partner in the Litigation and Dispute Resolution Department of Pepper Hamilton and a member of the firm’s Privacy, Security and Data Protection group, was quoted in the February 6, 2015 New Jersey Law Journal article, "Client Cybersecurity Demands Drive Burgeoning Practices."
"You need to deal with the breach before it occurs—you want to have that plan in place," said Angelo Stio III, of the Princeton, N.J., office of Philadelphia-based Pepper Hamilton. Stio is part of the firm's privacy, security and data protection group, as well as its data breach response team. "You want to set things in motion internally and externally. Externally, who's your lawyer? Who's forensics? Is there an insurance carrier involved?"
Stio said "law firms have started to recognize that this is an area where the law is changing," but "those on the forefront started doing that seven-to-10 years ago."
"Any lawyer that is going to engage in this type of practice is going to find a way to educate themselves on these kind of laws," Stio said, adding that Pepper Hamilton's breach response team includes lawyers from various practices, some of them industry-based: litigation, labor and employment, corporate and securities, white collar defense, health care, and financial services.
