Privacy & Information Security Law Blog

On June 29, 2015, Lisa J. Sotto, partner and head of the Global Privacy and Cybersecurity practice at Hunton & Williams LLP, was profiled in a Crain’s New York Business article entitled Lawyer Goes Into the Breach. The feature highlights the Hunton & Williams privacy team and the tireless work they do for their clients. Here is an excerpt from the article:

“Ms. Sotto came to her corner of the financial world a decade ago, after years working as an environmental lawyer. Spearheading Superfund cases was rewarding, but she was intrigued by the then-nascent field of mopping up messes for companies whose computer networks have been compromised. She has assembled a team of 25 lawyers specializing in finding experts to conduct forensic investigations into when and where breaches took place and what was stolen. With cyberattacks making the news practically every week, Ms. Sotto has gotten busier. Though computers have clearly made life better in lots of ways, more people than ever can crack into these electronic vaults and uncover personal data.”
