In a strategic move that underscores its focus on expanding its capabilities in cybersecurity and national security law, Arnold & Porter has appointed Eun Young Choi as a partner in its white collar defense, investigations, and national security practices. The firm announced Choi’s addition to its New York office earlier this week.
Choi’s expertise in cyber matters, digital assets, and emerging technologies aligns with the increasing complexities faced by corporations in these evolving fields. At Arnold & Porter, her role will encompass guiding clients through government investigations, enforcement actions, and litigation, with a focus on how these intersect with national security concerns.
Previously, Choi held significant positions at the U.S. Department of Justice, including Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the National Security Division and Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York. Her experience in these roles provides her with a distinct perspective on navigating the legal intricacies associated with national security and cyber policy.
Arnold & Porter’s decision to bring Choi onboard is indicative of a broader trend within major law firms to bolster their capabilities in areas that are increasingly critical to both corporate and public interests. As issues related to digital security continue to rise on the global stage, Choi’s appointment represents a forward-thinking strategy to enhance the firm’s prowess in advising businesses facing complex legal challenges.
