“Sarah brings deep leadership experience and a strong U.K. and European privacy outlook, which will bolster the firm’s offerings to our clients, including U.S. companies operating in the UK and EU,” said Lisa J. Sotto, head of Hunton Andrews Kurth’s global privacy and cybersecurity practice.
Pearce most recently led Paul Hastings LLP’s U.K. and European privacy and cybersecurity practice from the firm’s London and Paris offices, advising companies on data privacy and security issues in the U.K. and across Europe, including the impact of Brexit negotiations and the aftermath of the U.K.’s departure from the EU.
“With Sarah’s experience, we are excited to further strengthen our team’s unique ability to provide clients with seamless, timely and practical advice across jurisdictions,” said privacy and cybersecurity practice partner Aaron P. Simpson.
Pearce is a law graduate of King’s College, London, and Université 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, Paris and completed her LPC at The University of Law, Guildford.
