Clark Hill Adds Scott Koller to Cybersecurity Team

September 4, 2024

Clark Hill announced today that Scott Koller has joined the firm as a Member of its Cybersecurity, Data Protection, and Privacy team.

Based in the firm’s Los Angeles office, Koller advises clients from across all industries to help them prepare for and respond to cybersecurity incidents and data breaches.

“The first question most clients ask is how to better prepare the organization and be more resilient in the event of a ransomware incident,” Koller said. “Ransomware and cyber extortion are a top concern for many clients when it comes to incident response.”

Leveraging his technical background in computer networking and computer forensics, he regularly advises clients regarding compliance with data privacy and security requirements, including state data breach notification laws, HIPAA & HITECH, California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), state data protection laws, and international data privacy laws.

“We’re delighted that Scott has joined the team, said Cybersecurity Business Unit Leader Melissa Ventrone. “Scott’s experience handling compliance, data breach response, and proactive cybersecurity and privacy strategies for clients in many industries strengthens our commitment to providing cohesive solutions that meet client needs head-on.”

“Scott’s addition to our team of highly skilled lawyers adds depth to our cybersecurity and privacy practice where demand is rapidly growing,” Business Unit Director Lara Forde said.

Koller is active in the International Association of Privacy Professionals and the California Lawyers Association Cybersecurity Section. He also was a founding member of the Los Angeles County Bar Association’s Privacy/Cyber Section. Koller earned his law degree from the Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law.

Critical Risk Mitigation Provisions for Design Contracts — Part 1: Waiver of Consequential Damages

An essential element of architect and engineer contracts with their clients is the treatment of risk sharing between the parties. Design professionals who are typically simply providing services for a fee, and who are not investors who will share in the profits of a successful project, can ill-afford to expose themselves to unlimited liability for negligent errors and omissions in the performance of their services. Architects and engineers would argue that it is fundamentally unfair to expose them to unlimited downside risk when they do not directly participate in the upside profit potential of the projects they design. Owners and developers would counter that this is why design professionals carry professional liability insurance. But even simple design errors can lead to liability that is many times greater than the amount of such insurance.
