Willkie Farr & Gallagher is bringing on Laura Jehl as co-chair of its cybersecurity and privacy practice group, the firm said Monday, the latest in a string of law firms to add new leadership to a practice area that has seen surging demand in recent years.
Jehl, who has years of experience both at Big Law firms and in-house at AOL and a healthcare data analytics subsidiary of Anthem Inc, joins Willkie as a partner in Washington, D.C., from McDermott Will & Emery, where she was global head of the privacy and cybersecurity practice.
