As cybersecurity issues make their way into every aspect of the modern economy, it is becoming increasingly common for legal professionals to find themselves advising on issues of information security and risk assessment. While these issues may be far from ones taught in law school, they are oftentimes picked up and mastered throughout a career serving high-risk industries.

And recently, he used such experience to move into the cybersecurity space altogether, becoming general counsel and managing director of managed services at IT infrastructure and cybersecurity services company Align.
