Who Pays After the Hack? Emerging Paths for Cyber Recovery
A publication looking at the legal options organizations have for recovering losses after a cyberattack, beyond just absorbing the cost internally.
General guidance for this kind of matter, not advice about your situation and not specific to this firm.
Questions worth asking
What is a realistic budget through each stage, not just to start?
What are the odds honestly, and what is my exposure if I lose?
Would mediation get me a comparable result for less?
How long is something like this likely to take?
How this work is usually billed
Hourly against a retainer is standard. Because litigation runs long, the useful question is not the hourly rate but the estimated cost to reach each stage, and the risk of paying the other side's costs if you lose.
What to have ready
The contract or documents at the centre of the dispute, correspondence between the parties, and a dated timeline of what happened.
