Baker & Hostetler LLP

BakerHostetler's practice addresses the legal risks that arise across a business, including transactions, disputes, privacy, intellectual property and regulatory issues. Its public materials organize some of this work around problems faced by enterprises rather than only traditional practice labels. Examples include cybersecurity incidents, trade restrictions, investigations and intellectual-property issues in deal diligence.

Digital assets and data management are especially visible in the firm's work. BakerHostetler publishes a recurring Data Security Incident Response Report and describes advising clients on the legal and operational consequences of security incidents. Its IncuBaker team adds legal-technology and process services, including privacy management, automation and data analytics.

The firm also identifies its role in the recovery effort associated with the liquidation of Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities as a major continuing engagement. That work provides a concrete example of the intersection of litigation, insolvency and asset recovery. Alongside its wider business practice, these data-related and recovery matters give BakerHostetler a distinctive profile that is not captured by a short list of corporate services.
