When our mid-sized software company faced a significant data security incident, the potential liability was overwhelming. We engaged Dean Harvey at Perkins Coie based on his recognized expertise in Privacy and Data Security Law. From our first meeting in his Dallas office, his 20+ years of experience were evident. He didn't just react; he provided a strategic roadmap. Dean expertly guided our internal team through the forensic investigation, regulatory notifications (including nuanced state requirements), and communications with affected parties. His deep knowledge of Information Technology Law was crucial in interpreting our service-level agreements and mitigating contractual fallout. The resolution he negotiated was far better than we anticipated, protecting both our finances and our hard-earned reputation. His recent recognition as Lawyer of the Year in IT Law is clearly well-deserved. Dean is not only a brilliant legal strategist but also a calm, steadying presence during a crisis. We consider him an indispensable part of our business defense team.
