Lowenstein Sandler is proud to announce that Amy S. Mushahwar, partner and Chair of the firm’s Data Privacy, Security, Safety & Risk Management practice, has been named to Cybersecurity Docket’s 2026 “Incident Response Elite.” The list compiles the industry’s 50 best data breach response lawyers, who are often the “first call” for companies who find themselves in high-stakes incident response. The publication evaluates nominees based on input from numerous senior lawyers and other professionals in the field and considerable research.
Mushahwar leads a multidisciplinary team that unites law, technology, and human insight to help organizations design, defend, and sustain trusted systems under business partner, regulator, and consumer scrutiny. A pioneer in data scraping and intelligence analysis, she has built a highly nuanced and sophisticated practice that powers national security, law enforcement, and commercial threat-intelligence platforms. Her work integrates compliant data collection, automation, and analytics to advance situational awareness and digital defense for clients across critical infrastructure, defense, and technology sectors. As AI reshapes the incident response landscape, Mushahwar and her Data Privacy, Security, Safety & Risk Management team are actively mapping the emerging attack surface and the systems required to understand, respond to, and defend it.
Mushahwar’s signature and strategic Data360 approach with Kathleen A. McGee transforms data risk into strategic advantage by aligning legal, technical, and human disciplines across the entire data lifecycle. She cultivates inclusive, dual-threat teams of lawyers, engineers, and subject matter experts in technologies that support data structures who combine technical precision with ethical clarity.
