Please join the Data Privacy & Cybersecurity Committee for a discussion where our panelists share their unique paths to being a privacy attorney. Currently, privacy professionals are in high demand with opportunities in private practice, in-house, and with governmental entities. Our panelists show that there are different ways to develop expertise and land one of these roles. This discussion may be of particular interest to law students and junior attorneys with an interest in privacy. The event and refreshments are generously sponsored by Hogan Lovells US LLP.
