Note to editors

C-Level executives understand that cybersecurity and privacy related incidents, including ransomware, data breaches, and identity, are just the tip of the cyber-threat iceberg. They are essential business processes. Any entity that generates electronic information or engages in online data exchange needs to understand - and adapt - to an evolving threat landscape. The consequences for failing to identify and address such internal and external cyber threats include protracted business downtime or failure, significant recovery costs, litigation resourcing and liability, as well as regulatory fines and penalties amounting in many cases to eight or nine figure losses.

Sterlington was founded in 2016 by Christopher S. Harrison. Sterlington is focused on sophisticated transactional and litigation work. The firm's clients include private equity funds, multi-billion-dollar family offices, venture capital funds, and their portfolio companies. The firm also works with hedge funds, high net worth individuals, high profile CEOs, and management teams, as well as corporate, biotech, and startup clients. Sterlington's team includes a diverse and highly accomplished group of legal professionals and a skilled team of technology and customer service professionals. Sterlington is already considered one of the world's leading virtual law firms. They have grown exponentially over the last few years with their virtual offering proving to be resilient to the global changes experienced since the Pandemic began in 2020.
