Ransomware

Crowell & Moring is well-positioned to help you prepare for and respond to ransomware attacks. In these crisis situations, our cybersecurity team is on the ground providing support at every stage, from initial internal investigation and risk management, through making notifications where appropriate, and, if necessary, government enforcement actions and litigation. We also work with technical consultants when appropriate through relationships structured to help maintain confidentiality and privilege for forensic investigations.

We have investigated hundreds of cybersecurity incidents, and our specific experience with ransomware includes advising victims of the following:
