Hunton & Williams LLP announces Lisa J. Sotto, head of the firm’s Global Privacy and Cybersecurity practice and managing partner of the New York office, has been named to The National Law Journal’s “Outstanding Women Lawyers” list. The listing, composed of 75 of the most accomplished female lawyers today, includes women who have surpassed their peers based on their excellence in professional practice, development of new areas of law, leadership roles and influence.

“Lisa is a trailblazer in the field of privacy law and an invaluable asset to our firm and our clients,” said Wally Martinez, managing partner of Hunton & Williams. “This recognition is well deserved and we congratulate her.”
