Faruki Ireland & Cox P.L.L.  is pleased to welcome Jeffrey Knight as the firm’s newest member. Knight joins FI&C after serving as a litigation attorney at the U.S. Department of State, where he was assigned to the Department’s Freedom of Information and Privacy Act Litigation Team.

With attorneys in Cincinnati and Dayton, Knight's experience adds not only to the depth of the attorneys handling data compliance litigation matters, but also FI&C's data breach response and data compliance and governance practice.

“After several high profile data breaches over the past few years, data security and compliance are top of mind for many businesses and individuals. Jeff will be a great addition to the team. His background and expertise in data compliance issues will reinforce our expanding cybersecurity practice,” said Ron Raether, FI&C Partner.
