DEVON, PA — Mullen Coughlin LLC has expanded its international cyber incident response practice by hiring data privacy and cybersecurity attorney Ambre Cross as a partner in its London office, strengthening the firm’s capabilities as organizations face increasingly complex cross-border cyber and regulatory challenges.
The addition expands the Devon-based law firm’s presence in the United Kingdom, where it advises clients on cybersecurity incidents, data privacy matters, and regulatory investigations. The firm announced the appointment this week.
Cross advises organizations on notification and regulatory obligations arising from data privacy and cybersecurity incidents across the United Kingdom, European Union, and other international jurisdictions. Her practice also includes defending clients in class actions, individual lawsuits, and business-to-business litigation involving data privacy, data protection, and cybersecurity claims.
She regularly represents clients before UK regulators, including the Information Commissioner’s Office, Financial Conduct Authority, Solicitors Regulation Authority, and the Charity Commission.
Cross has also been recognized by Legal 500 UK for her work in cyber law and frequently speaks at national and international conferences on cyber risk.
“I am delighted to join Mullen Coughlin as a Partner,” Cross stated. “The Firm’s achievements in the UK cyber market to date, in terms of growth and reputation, are nothing short of remarkable.”
She added, “It is an incredibly exciting time for Mullen Coughlin, and I look forward to contributing to the Firm’s continued strategic growth in the UK.”
UK Managing Partner Cameron Carr described Cross as bringing “excellent judgment with a pragmatic, client-focused approach,” adding that he was “delighted that she has chosen to join us.”
Managing Member Jennifer A. Coughlin framed the appointment as part of the firm’s broader growth strategy, noting that “the addition of talent like Ambre’s to our peerless team of skilled attorneys is essential to the Firm’s success” as cybersecurity risks continue to evolve.
The appointment marks Mullen Coughlin’s latest investment in its international incident response practice amid growing demand for legal counsel capable of navigating data breach response, regulatory compliance, and cross-border privacy enforcement.
