Competent on cyber issues, but communication could improve

We engaged Ms. Peretti at Alston & Bird after a significant data breach involving our customer database. Her deep background, from the DOJ to PwC forensics, was immediately apparent. She provided technically sound guidance on our notification obligations and helped us navigate the regulatory landscape, which was invaluable. Her recognition in privacy and data security law is well-deserved. However, the experience was mixed. While the final work product was thorough, there were often significant delays in receiving updates. We sometimes felt like just another file on a very large desk, waiting days for replies to time-sensitive emails. For a straightforward matter, her expertise is undeniable, but the client service and responsiveness didn't quite match the premium billing. You get solid legal counsel, but manage your expectations on accessibility.
