Fordham Law alumnus Steven J. Kuperschmid ’85, partner at Ruskin Moscou Faltischek, was featured in an InnovateLI article about the firm’s cybersecurity practice group, which will be headed by former FBI Special Agent Richard Frankel.
Kuperschmid boasts extensive experience with corporate, financial and regulatory issues, particularly in the technology, e-commerce and Internet space. The partner will co-chair the new group with Frankel, who recently joined the firm following a distinguished FBI career that included stints as special-agent-in-charge of criminal investigations, undercover units and tactical operations.
Frankel’s FBI focus covered various threat-based, intelligence-led law enforcement functions. Those experiences, combined with Kuperschmid’s long familiarity with cyber-related risk-management issues, create a formidable force atop the new practice group, according to Silvers.
