SAN
FRANCISCO, April 30, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ --
Michael Burshteyn joined global law
firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP's San
Francisco office as a shareholder in the Intellectual
Property Litigation Practice.
Burshteyn is a technology litigator, handling complex disputes
involving cybercrime, cryptocurrency, artificial
intelligence (AI), privacy, and data security. He handles class
actions and regulatory inquiries related to privacy, data security,
and other internet law issues such as Section 230 of the
Communications Decency Act, platform abuse, content moderation, and
the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. Burshteyn also
represents crypto entities in Securities Exchange
Commission (SEC), Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC),
and Department of Justice (DOJ) inquiries and investigations. He is
acting as lead counsel in multiple disputes involving more than
$100 million at stake, including
crypto token disputes and exploit attacks. Burshteyn
has helped decentralized finance (DeFi)
and other clients recover more than $200
million in exploited crypto.
"Mike's experience in litigating sophisticated technology,
internet, AI, privacy, and crypto matters will add to
the firm's strategic plan of strengthening our already robust Data
Privacy & Cybersecurity and Blockchain & Digital Assets
practices from the litigation side," said Greenberg Traurig Senior
Vice President G. Michelle Ferreira
and Bradley R. Marsh, co-managing
shareholders of the firm's San
Francisco office, in a joint statement. "He is uniquely
positioned to advise our clients on these matters considering his
previous experience leading a security startup before returning to
the practice of law."
Burshteyn is the founder and former CEO of CryptoMove, a data
security software startup. There, Burshteyn and his team brought
novel moving target defense technology into the market for
applications on drones, cloud security, and for securing encryption
and cryptocurrency keys. After returning to legal
practice full time, Burshteyn now serves as primary outside counsel
managing legal roadmaps for emerging growth crypto,
AI, enterprise SaaS, and consumer startups. His work for AI
companies involves safety, privacy, and copyright issues arising
from facial recognition and data collection, as well as claims for
platform abuse related to AI content moderation.
"Riding the startup roller coaster at CryptoMove has enabled me
to offer a practical and business-minded perspective for clients
dealing with novel legal issues around cutting-edge technologies,"
Burshteyn said. "Greenberg Traurig, with its strength in litigating
key internet and technology cases alongside its global geographic
footprint, is the perfect platform for my practice. I'm excited to
join this storied law firm and help its continued growth in
California and elsewhere."
Burshteyn received his J.D. from Emory
University School of Law and a B.A. from the University of California, Berkeley, where he led
Cal to the first place college debate ranking in the United States. He is admitted to practice
law in California.
