LOS ANGELES, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 06/15/10 -- InfoLawGroup LLP announced today that David K. Isom and Richard L. Santalesa have joined the firm as Senior Counsel. Isom, an e-discovery authority and 30-year trial lawyer, was formerly co-chair of Greenberg Traurig's Electronic Discovery Practice Group. Santalesa, based in New York City and Fairfield, Connecticut, has had a career of representing clients in electronic commerce and Internet and privacy issues and other commercial arrangements involving intellectual property and technology-savvy companies.



InfoLawGroup is a privacy, data security, technology and intellectual property boutique law firm comprised of hand-picked seasoned specialists operating in a virtual environment around the country. The addition of Isom and Santalesa almost doubles the size of the fast growing firm, which was founded by Tanya L. Forsheit, David J. Navetta and Scott Blackmer in October 2009.





Isom has served as lead trial counsel in large commercial litigation throughout the country and abroad. In the electronic discovery space, Isom focuses on the potency, risks and challenges in complex commercial litigation. He is the author of "The Burden of Discovering Inaccessible Electronically Stored Information" and "Electronic Discovery Primer for Judges," both published in the Federal Courts Law Review, and has co-authored and edited numerous chapters and articles in other publications on e-discovery and information security law. Isom is a graduate of Duke University School of Law.



Santalesa has a deep and interdisciplinary background in information technology, journalism, and law practice, and expands the virtual firm's geographic footprint to the East Coast, where the firm is already servicing numerous clients. Immediately prior to joining InfoLawGroup, Santalesa served as outside counsel to FUJIFILM Holdings America Corporation and as Legal Counsel to Ipsos America, Inc. Prior to practicing law, Santalesa enjoyed a successful career in technology, initially as a computer programmer on Wall Street, and then as an award-winning journalist, editor and analyst covering Internet, hardware, software and wireless issues. In the late 1990s, Santalesa co-founded and served as Director of Technology of Virtual Growth, Inc., a New York City-based accounting firm providing outsourced financial and accounting services to New York City's startup and new media companies. Santalesa graduated from St. John's University School of Law, cum laude.



"We are thrilled to have David and Rich join InfoLawGroup," stated Founding Partner Tanya Forsheit. "They supplement our existing in-depth knowledge and resources in privacy and data security compliance, data breach response, and outsourcing transactions. Beyond that, David's practice adds considerable breadth to our litigation capabilities, Rich gives us added flexibility in servicing existing and new East Coast clients, and both lawyers share our commitment to providing the highest quality, lowest cost, and most practical and business-oriented legal services. It is a great fit."



Added Founding Partner David Navetta: "As we continue to see an uptick in privacy and data security related litigations and investigations, David's decades in the courtroom are an invaluable addition to our existing litigation group." Founding Partner Scott Blackmer concluded: "I have known David for many years, and have been delighted to get to know Rich through the Information Security Committee of the American Bar Association. Both lawyers, like Tanya, Dave, and myself, are passionate about technology and the law and share a vision for using technology to provide clients around the world with AmLaw 100-quality legal services at a fraction of the price."
