Though the firm is both young and small, ZwillGen is known as a leading firm on Internet law and its lawyers have investigated, litigated, and counseled clients on a wide range of issues including cybercrime, privacy and data security, online marketing, internet gambling, and more.Graduating from law school in the mid-90s, firm founders Marc Zwillinger and Christian Genetski grew their legal careers with the internet. The duo prosecuted cyber-crimes at the DOJ and went on to lead the internet and data privacy groups at two BigLaw firms. In 2010, they decided to strike out on their own, founding ZwillGen in a DC row house, bringing two senior associates and 24 corporate clients from their BigLaw outfits. Less than two years later the firm had doubled in size and quadrupled its client roster. Over the next decade, the firm quickly grew, adding lawyers in New York, Chicago, and San Francisco and currently boasts just over two dozen lawyers focusing on all things internet law related.ZwillGen client roster is a virtual who’s who of internet and technology companies and includes household names like Yahoo!, Hulu, Yelp, Airbnb, and LinkedIn. But the client that may have put ZwillGen on the map is one of the biggest in the world. ZwillGen has represented Apple in several cases, including defending the company against government access to user data. Notably, in 2016, ZwillGen successfully represented Apple when the government tried to compel Apple to unlock the iPhone recovered from one of the terrorists in the San Bernardino mass shooting.
