Lowenstein Sandler’s Data Privacy, Security, Safety & Risk Management practice proudly introduces Data360—a multidisciplinary model that unites technical and regulatory experts to deliver end-to-end solutions for today’s data-driven global business landscape. Think of our privacy and security lawyers as your legal development team: agile, integrated, and focused on results.

Our Origin Story
Data360 was envisioned by our practice chair, Amy S. Mushahwar, who—over two decades ago as a technologist—struggled to find legal counsel fluent in the technical risks she faced. She needed someone who understood computing architecture and data flows, capable of translating compliance into real-world environments and building practical solutions. At Lowenstein Sandler, she built a team of skilled legal practitioners and technologists who collaborate seamlessly with engineering teams to deliver actionable, business-aligned advice.

Mushahwar’s technical background continues to shape her legal practice. “I’ve helped companies avoid missing critical logs during incident response, escalated security non-compliance to General Counsels, and worked with database developers to implement privacy tagging logic—after they said it couldn’t be done.”

Team Composition
“Data360 is our technology-forward approach to lawyering—built with lawyers who’ve served as CISOs, CISSPs, PCI-QSAs, ethical hackers, developers, and elite attorneys,” says Mushahwar. “Today’s privacy and security practice demands legal-technical dual threats, alongside former regulators and prosecutors. We partner with you as a deep bench.”

Operational Integration
Lowenstein partner Kathleen A. McGee, who co-developed the Data360 talent approach, adds: “We enable General Counsels to embed privacy, security, and safety controls directly into business operations and product development lifecycles. Our Data360-trained lawyers are what I wanted to see as a regulator—professionals who ground themselves in the technology to answer the hard questions.”

Lowenstein Sandler is Responding to a Market Need for Data Trust
By grounding legal advice in technical architecture, Data360 treats compliance as a strategic asset—not a barrier to growth. This reflects the evolving role of Chief Privacy and Security Officers, many of whom now carry “Trust” in their titles. Strategic compliance builds trust, drives competitive advantage, and accelerates business momentum.

“Five to ten years ago, data risk rarely derailed deals,” says Mushahwar. “Today, data drives business—and your partners expect your company to be a trusted steward of the information they share.”

Lowenstein Sandler’s Innovation Legacy
Mushahwar emphasizes Lowenstein Sandler’s long-standing commitment to innovation: “From advising emerging companies and venture capital firms to representing AI businesses and investors, we’ve consistently led at the intersection of legal strategy and technology risk.”
