Hogan Lovells Lands FTC Commissioner to Lead Cybersecurity Group

Hogan Lovells announced this week that it has tapped outgoing Federal Trade Commissioner Julie Brill for a leadership role in its growing data security practice group.

Brill will join the firm on April 1 as a partner in the Washington, D.C. office, and co-director of the firm’s privacy and cybersecurity practice group.

“She’s really been the most outspoken defender of the U.S. government privacy framework,” said Chris Wolf, who is stepping down as co-director to assume a senior position in the privacy group, “which is not as neat and compact as the privacy directive in Europe.”
