"I have found the Cyber team at Wotton + Kearney to be one of the best firms to work with in regards to Cyber incidents and they shine in particular with incidents involving ransomware, nation-state attacks, or other complex incidents."
"They can understand the balance between meeting legal and regulatory obligations while also acting in a manner that understands business operational necessities. Often, with a significant data breach or during a ransomware attack, giving sound legal advice is only half of the job - and W+K understand this."
