Justin Potesta

Knowledgeable and effective counsel for our data breach response

Our company faced a significant data security incident involving potential exposure of customer information. We needed counsel who could navigate both the immediate legal crisis and the complex regulatory landscape. Justin Potesta at Perkins Coie was recommended to us. While he is relatively early in his career, his focused knowledge in privacy and data security law was immediately evident and proved invaluable. He efficiently guided our internal investigation, helped us craft compliant notifications, and interfaced with regulators. His recognition in this specific field by Best Lawyers gave us confidence in his strategic approach. Justin is sharp, explains complex legal concepts in clear business terms, and was a steadying presence during a stressful time. The matter was resolved favorably without litigation. If I had one note, it would be that during the initial, frantic days, there were occasional delays in email responses, likely due to his caseload. However, his substantive work was always thorough and on point. I would certainly engage Justin again for similar matters and recommend him to other businesses needing counsel in this critical area.
