About Charles Cresson
Charles Cresson Wood began his legal career after completing his legal education. He entered practice at a time when technology and regulation were becoming harder to separate. That timing shaped the kinds of matters he took on and the clients he would serve. He built a practice that sits at the intersection of law, information security, and organizational risk.
He is admitted to practice in both California and Washington. Early in his career he worked on matters that required coordination between technical teams and legal departments. That practical experience informed his later work advising businesses and public entities on policies, contracts, and response plans tied to data and systems. Over time he moved into roles that required not only legal analysis but also an ability to translate technical issues into clear legal counsel.
Wood’s practice covers legal issues common to modern information infrastructure. He handles regulatory compliance questions, vendor and service agreements, policy drafting, and incident response coordination. He also advises on governance matters and the legal aspects of technology procurement. His work often involves multi-disciplinary teams that include IT professionals, risk managers, and outside counsel.
He is affiliated with Infosecurity Infrastructure, where his role centers on providing legal guidance related to information security and infrastructure matters. In that capacity he counsels clients ranging from private companies to public-sector organizations. His day-to-day work includes reviewing contractual terms, advising on regulatory obligations, and helping shape internal policies that address risk and accountability.
Wood approaches legal problems with attention to practical constraints and organizational priorities. He is known for clear written work and for explaining legal trade-offs in plain language. In 2026 he continues to practice in California and Washington, focusing on the legal issues that arise around information security and critical infrastructure.
