Los Angeles Real Estate Litigation Lawyer Jeffer Mangels Butler & Mitchell LLP Home
LOS ANGELES—Jeffer Mangels Butler & Mitchell LLP (JMBM) partner Michael A. Gold was selected as one of the “Most Influential Lawyers” in Digital Media and E-Commerce Law by the Los Angeles Business Journal. Influential lawyers were nominated by peers in the business community and chosen based on their expertise in digital and e-commerce law, as well as recent transactions and litigation.
“Company executives and boards of directors are keenly focused on the potential damage and liability that accompanies a data breach,” said Gold, who is co-chair of JMBM’s Privacy, Information Management and Data Protection Group.” We are pleased that our team has achieved successful results for our clients in this complex and critical area of law.”
“By understanding the business goals underlying agreements,” the Los Angeles Business Journal noted, “[Gold] has been able to focus litigants on the core issues in the agreements and gain effective resolutions of seemingly insoluble situations.”
“As far as we can look into the future, companies will have to be increasingly concerned about the legal aspects of privacy and data security,” said William F. Capps, Chairman of JMBM’s Corporate Law Department. “The laws governing this are not only United States laws but laws from other countries where the data is collected, used or stored.”
Gold recently wrote “Cyber Risk and the Board of Directors – Closing the Gap,” for the Bloomberg BNA Corporate Governance Report. The full article, available for download on jmbm.com, discusses the cyber security risks nearly all companies are exposed to and the steps that need to be taken by corporate boards to effectively address them.
Gold counsels clients in a wide variety of matters, including corporate governance, forensic investigations of information systems, computer and internet privacy matters and data breach issues.
