New York– October 24, 2018: Crowell & Moring LLP is pleased to announce the addition of John E. Davis as senior counsel in the firm’s E-Discovery & Information Management Practice in New York. With more than 20 years of experience, Davis will advise on complex e-discovery issues in disputes and investigations, as well as privacy, cybersecurity, and other emerging technology issues.
