Summary:. Fernando M. Pinguelo, a trial attorney and Chair of the firm’s Cyber Security & Data Protection and E-Discovery groups, devotes his practice to complex litigation with an emphasis on cyber security, data privacy, media and employment matters.. A former prosecutor, Fernando’s experience addresses all facets of litigation (trial, mediation, arbitration, appellate) in both federal and state courts and he regularly handles “crisis litigation,” including emergency applications with the courts. Most recently, the leading global information services company retained him to address a data breach incident reportedly involving the theft of 15 million customers’ sensitive data.. He serves on state and federal committees, including appointments by the Chief Judge of the District of New Jersey to serve on the Merit Selection Panel for federal magistrate judgeship selection and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of New Jersey to serve on the Evidence Rules Committee. Fernando handles a broad spectrum of national and international disputes including those involving business torts, data breaches, misappropriation of trade secrets, copyright/trademark infringement, and breach of contract and non-compete covenants. Fernando earned accreditation as an information privacy professional (CIPP/US) from the International Association of Privacy Professionals.. A leader in the emerging areas of cyber law and electronic discovery, Fernando works closely with clients to develop strategies for managing business and legal issues relating to electronic data. He focuses client attention on preventing claims and pursuing strategies that enhance a client’s ability to manage data-essential precautions because of the financial and public relations fallout that often results from high-profile data breaches. When a rapidly evolving crisis or emergency hits, Fernando mobilizes his interdisciplinary team of professionals and implements a response strategy to mitigate damages. Fernando’s global network of highly skilled lawyers and other professionals from across the U.S. and more than 70 other countries enables him to provide clients with quality services outside our jurisdictions..

Notably, Fernando was involved in New Jersey’s first case addressing its new electronic discovery rule amendments; designed one of the first state-of-the-art electronic discovery law courses in the country, which he teaches at Seton Hall University School of Law; and created the ABA Journal award-winning eLessons Learned, an educational blog about how technology impacts lawsuits. Moreover, the President of the New Jersey State Bar Association appointed him Chair of the Privacy Law Committee. Fernando lectures for state and federal judicial colleges, including the New Jersey Judicial College and Escola Paulista da Magistratura (São Paulo), both of which provide judges with academic programs to keep abreast of legal developments. He also clerked for the Honorable Edwin H. Stern, Chief Judge, Superior Court of New Jersey - Appellate Division (retired). Within the media and entertainment industries, Fernando represents television personalities including Emmy Award-winning talent, performers, and writers on a variety of legal issues, including cyber security/privacy issues concerning their Internet reputation.. Fernando’s numerous published articles and speaking engagements in his areas of practice reflect the depth of his knowledge and understanding of the issues that his clients face, including his chapter authorships for the leading treatise on electronic discovery for in-house counsel, eDiscovery for Corporate Counsel(Chapter 17 - Electronic Data, Cyber Security & Crisis Management) (Thomson-West 2013–present), and New Jersey Federal Civil Practice (Chapter 10 – eDiscovery) (ALM 2011-present).

Eric Kanefsky is a partner with the firm and named co-founder of Calcagni & Kanefsky, the firm’s New Jersey Office. Mr. Kanefsky’s practice is dedicated to helping corporations and individuals navigate and successfully resolve complex legal problems through internal investigation, advocacy and, when needed, litigation. He brings to bear a wealth of public and private sector experience on behalf of his clients from his time as a former high-ranking official in the Office of the New Jersey Attorney General, as a federal prosecutor with the United States Attorney’s Office in New Jersey and from years in private practice at one of the nation’s most prestigious plaintiff’s litigation firms. Mr. Kanefsky represents both plaintiffs and defendants and takes on engagements under non-traditional fee arrangements depending on what best suits his client’s needs. His unique blend of legal experiences allows him to address high-stakes legal problems more effectively and economically than traditional defense firm litigators.. Immediately prior to joining the firm, Mr. Kanefsky served as the Director of the Division of Consumer Affairs for the State of New Jersey, a 600-person civil law enforcement and regulatory agency within the Attorney General’s Office. Mr. Kanefsky was nominated by the Governor and unanimously confirmed by the State Senate to that position. In his capacity as Director, he was responsible for regulating the State’s securities and healthcare industries, and overseeing the prosecution of hundreds of consumer fraud and professional misconduct cases. Under his leadership, New Jersey was one of the most active States in the country in pursuing actions involving internet data breaches, online privacy violations and other internet related violations. Through this experience, Mr. Kanefsky gained a unique expertise in how to most effectively represent clients involved in matters brought by state Attorney General’s offices, and other governmental agencies, including defending against consumer and securities fraud cases, misconduct allegations before professional licensing boards and counseling and advising his clients on important government and regulatory matters that affect their business or professions.. Prior to serving as the State’s Consumer Affairs’ Director, Mr. Kanefsky was a federal criminal prosecutor in Newark in its elite Special Prosecutions Unit where he spent the bulk of his time prosecuting white collar offenses, including public corruption and complex commercial fraud matters. While at the United States Attorney’s Office, Mr. Kanefsky prosecuted over 50 cases involving myriad federal offenses, including several high-profile cases that were tried to successful jury verdicts. Eric has spent years honing the skills necessary to successfully defend clients against the most complex criminal or civil charges brought by federal, state and local prosecutors.. Before his public service, Mr. Kanefsky worked in private practice at renowned law firms in New York City and Philadelphia, including almost six years at one of the country’s preeminent plaintiff’s litigation firms. While in private practice, he primarily litigated securities fraud and complex commercial disputes on behalf of plaintiffs and defendants. Through these litigations, he helped investors recover hundreds of millions of dollars in settlements, and Fortune 500 companies conduct internal investigations and defend against government regulatory actions. Mr. Kanefsky has successfully represented plaintiffs and defendants in securities fraud, auditor malpractice, corporate governance, contractual and employment disputes, and in litigation on behalf of creditors of distressed and bankrupt entities, among other matters. He routinely speaks on emerging issues and cases affecting his clients and has appeared in television and print media hundreds of times for his work.. Mr. Kanefsky is a graduate of Temple University’s School of Law, where he graduated with honors and served as an editor of Temple’s Law Review while also completing internships for two Federal judges in Philadelphia. He received his undergraduate degree in Criminal Justice from The George Washington University in Washington, D.C. He is admitted to practice in New Jersey and New York.
