Cyberinsurance Considerations for Law Firms

Elizabeth Vandesteeg & Kathryn Nadro

Law firms spend a lot of time and effort to protect their clients' interests, but often overlook routine protection and security of clients' (and their own) data. While not a cure-all for data security risks, one important component to consider in putting together a comprehensive data security program is cyber insurance, as most general liability policies and professional liability policies now expressly exclude coverage for data breach claims.

  • Private Equity Valuation: A Significant Decision
    Insiders (and others) in the private equity business are accustomed to seeing a good deal of discussion ' academic and trade ' on the question of the appropriate methods of valuing private equity positions and securities which are otherwise illiquid. An interesting recent decision in the Southern District has been brought to our attention. The case is <i>In Re Allied Capital Corp.</i>, CCH Fed. SEC L. Rep. 92411 (US DC, S.D.N.Y., Apr. 25, 2003). Judge Lynch's decision is well written, the Judge reviewing a motion to dismiss by a business development company, Allied Capital, against a strike suit claiming that Allied's method of valuing its portfolio failed adequately to account for i) conditions at the companies themselves and ii) market conditions. The complaint appears to be, as is often the case, slap dash, content to point out that Allied revalued some of its positions, marking them down for a variety of reasons, and the stock price went down - all this, in the view of plaintiff's counsel, amounting to violations of Rule 10b-5.
