Kamran Salour Speaks with Media About Re-Joining Lewis Brisbois as Co-Chair of National Data Privacy & Cybersecurity Practice

Orange County, Calif. (April 25, 2023) – Orange County Partner and Co-Chair of Lewis Brisbois’ Data Privacy & Cybersecurity Practice Kamran Salour (CIPP/US, CIPP/E, CIPT) recently spoke with Law360 and Reuters about re-joining Lewis Brisbois to co-lead the firm’s growing practice. As the articles and Lewis Brisbois’ announcement explain, Mr. Salour has more than 15 years of experience in the data privacy space. He advises clients on responding to cyber incidents, designing proactive cybersecurity measures, creating pre-incident response plans, preparing vendor contracts, and complying with related laws and regulations.  

In discussing the future of Lewis Brisbois’ data privacy team, Mr. Salour told Law360, "I think Lewis Brisbois has a tremendous platform for developing and maintaining an incident response practice given Lewis Brisbois' ties with insurance companies, given its reputation in the industry and certainly, given the already strong team that's in place now led by Robert Walker." 

He added that he is looking forward to rebuilding the practice following the departure of a group of the firm’s data privacy attorneys in February. He explained, “Now the next question becomes, 'Are they going to be able to re-establish themselves as one of the big names in cyber?' Obviously that's one of the things that Robert and I are tasked with doing and I think that's a task that we're both up for and I think we're going to be able to achieve that task. . . . I think we have the right people in place to really separate us from others in the industry. That's what I'm really excited about."  

Moreover, in describing his goal as co-chair of Lewis Brisbois’ Data Privacy & Cybersecurity Practice, Mr. Salour explained to Law360 that he would like to provide clients with an incident response that is thoughtful, flexible, and puts people first. "If we can satisfy those three objectives, I think we will reestablish the Lewis Brisbois name in the cybersecurity world," he said.  

Similarly, Mr. Salour told Reuters that he was looking forward to rebuilding the firm's cybersecurity team. He further noted that he had plans to hire up to five attorneys in the near future and eventually grow further.
