Janet Fisher, a former prosecutor and investigative attorney for the Department of Justice National Security Division, has joined Venable LLP.
The firm said on Wednesday that Fisher will help handle white collar and government investigations, and assist with data security, privacy, regulatory and compliance issues.
While at the National Security Division, Fisher worked on matters related to cybersecurity, advised officials on foreign intelligence and surveillance, and helped prosecutors on an appeals case concerning the 1998 attacks on U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.
“Janet’s litigation background, combined with her deep knowledge of emerging communications technologies and the security challenges they face, give her the rare ability and experience to counsel businesses in the developing area of cyber security law,” said Geoffrey Garinther, head of Venable’s litigation division.
