New unit offers immediate legal guidance, regulatory compliance management, and litigation defense for organizations facing cyber threats 

[Fort Lauderdale, FL] Kelley Kronenberg, a leading multi-practice law firm, has announced the launch of its Cyber Incident Response Unit, a specialized legal service designed to provide immediate, around-the-clock support to organizations facing cyber incidents and data breaches. The new unit addresses the critical need for rapid legal response during cyber emergencies, when time-sensitive decisions can significantly impact regulatory compliance, legal liability, and business continuity. 

The unit is comprised of a team of experienced attorneys including Timothy D. Shields, David S. Harvey,  Elizabeth P. Perez, and Danielle Shin, who bring specialized expertise in cybersecurity law, regulatory compliance, and data breach response. 

“Cyber incidents don’t follow business hours, and organizations need immediate access to specialized legal counsel who understand both the technical realities of data breaches and the complex regulatory landscape,” said Heath S. Eskalyo, Principal Partner/Chief Performance Officer at Kelley Kronenberg. “Our Cyber Incident Response Unit fills this critical gap by providing 24/7 emergency legal support when organizations are most vulnerable.” 

Comprehensive Incident Response Services 

The Cyber Incident Response Unit offers a full spectrum of legal services specifically tailored to cyber incident management: 

Immediate Legal Response: Attorneys provide rapid assessment and guidance during the critical first hours of an incident, helping organizations determine breach scope, assess legal obligations, and implement containment strategies that protect both data and legal interests. 

Regulatory Compliance & Notification Management: The unit guides clients through complex data breach notification requirements across multiple jurisdictions, managing the entire notification process for individuals, regulators, law enforcement, and business partners while ensuring compliance with varying timeframes and content requirements. 

Crisis Management & Communication Strategy: Beyond legal compliance, the team helps organizations develop communication strategies that meet legal obligations while protecting business interests, coordinating with public relations professionals to maintain transparency while avoiding unnecessary legal exposure. 

Litigation Defense & Regulatory Response: When incidents lead to legal action, the unit provides aggressive defense representation against class action lawsuits, regulatory enforcement actions, and individual claims, while also representing clients in investigations by state attorneys general and federal agencies. 

Industry-Specific Expertise 

The unit’s regulatory expertise spans multiple industries, including healthcare (HIPAA), financial services (GLBA), and educational institutions (FERPA), while also helping clients navigate evolving state privacy laws and federal regulatory frameworks. 

Proactive Preparedness Planning 

In addition to incident response, the unit offers proactive services including customized incident response plan development, employee training programs, and tabletop exercises to test organizational readiness. These services help organizations respond more effectively when incidents occur while ensuring legal compliance from the outset. 

“Effective incident response requires seamless coordination among legal, technical, and business professionals,” added Heath S. Eskalyo. “Our attorneys work closely with cybersecurity vendors, forensic investigators, insurance carriers, and internal teams to ensure comprehensive incident management that aligns legal strategy with business objectives and technical realities.”
