Debevoise & Plimpton LLP partners Luke Dembosky, Erez Liebermann and Jim Pastore have again been named to Cybersecurity Docket’sIncident Response 50 List” for 2025. The list recognizes the “50 best data breach response lawyers in the business” and the top incident response attorneys and compliance professionals who not only have the right credentials and experience to manage a data breach response, but are also critical to have on speed-dial when the inevitable data breach occurs. The list is developed through nominations, input from senior lawyers and other professionals in the field, and Cybersecurity Docket’s own research.

Dembosky, Liebermann and Pastore, members of Debevoise’s Data Strategy & Security (DSS) Group, specialize in preparing clients for, and leading responses to, complex cybersecurity incidents across various sectors. Each brings many years of expertise leading cybercrimes and national security cyber prosecutions with the U.S. Department of Justice.

The DSS practice is global and interdisciplinary, combining our cybersecurity, privacy, artificial intelligence, business continuity, M&A diligence, and data governance practices into one fully integrated and coordinated group. The group’s calling card has been the ability to skillfully resolve the most complex, high-stakes, technical cyber investigations across the U.S., U.K. and Europe, including working in the classified space and with law enforcement, where sophisticated clients routinely report that the team’s connections and experience are unmatched. In the past five years, the DSS practice has counseled more than 120 companies in responding to more than 250 cyber incidents.
