Mayer Brown draws on the ‘impeccable experience’ of its cybersecurity and data privacy team in handling a range of international cyber incidents, data breaches, and class actions for major technology companies. Its artificial intelligence task force and national security practice are both stand out elements of the cybersecurity offering from the team, bolstered by the addition of Justin Herring and Adam Hickey in May 2023; based in New York, Herring has notable expertise regarding cyber regulations, while Hickey, working between New York and Washington DC, is a go-to for government investigations work. DC-based team head Rajesh De handles matters which involve complex technology, national security, law enforcement and privacy concerns. Also in DC, Stephen Lilley is recommended for cyber incident response and subsequent litigation. ’Absolute expert’ Dominique Shelton Leipzig, in Los Angeles, leads the global data innovation and ad tech privacy practices, providing strategic cyber-preparedness compliance advice. David Simon departed the team in July 2023.
