EXPERT ALERTS:

Business Continuity Following a Natural Disaster
Alan Sutin
Shareholder; Chair, Technology, Media & Telecommunications Practice; Senior Chair, Global IP-IT Practice
Greenberg Traurig LLP
"Companies sometimes fail to consider the impact of losing their key computer servers and other technology systems following a hurricane or other natural disaster. Reviewing the company's disaster recovery and business continuity plans and making sure they meet the company's current operational and cybersecurity standards will go a long way to avoiding significant business interruption or ongoing liability."
Sutin counsels companies on a wide-range of issues relating to privacy and cybersecurity. He co-authored the Law360 article "Top Tips for Data Breach Readiness and Response," and can discuss data protection issues during and after a disaster.

Workforce Management During and After a Hurricane
Joe Fleming
Shareholder; Litigation Practice, Labor & Employment
Greenberg Traurig LLP
"While the hurricane season is approaching and it is of great importance to be prepared, the same concepts of preparation also apply to labor, employment, disability, safety, pandemic, workplace environmental, cybersecurity, climate change, asymmetry in 'technological advances' and other disaster concerns. We are increasingly vulnerable to increasing complexities as our society involves developments that create advantages, which may bring with them new issues. So, it is always 'in season' to be pro-active in programs that prepare us for such problems; and, adopting systems for possible risks may have the upside advantages of being of great value in diminishing exposure to risks."
Fleming is an experienced litigator and labor and employment lawyer who is also familiar with historic properties. He can speak to workforce management and payroll issues during and after a hurricane.

Epstein practices in the area of construction law and contracting. He wrote an article in the New Jersey Law Journal about rebuilding New Jersey's infrastructure after Hurricane Sandy, and can speak to similar topics.
