Mullen Coughlin, Cybersecurity & Data Privacy

At NetDiligence’s Cyber Risk Summit in Philadelphia on October 5, 2026, Mullen Coughlin Partner Erica Wicas joins the Conference’s “Career Pathways for Students” programming agenda for a presentation on “A Day in the Life of a Breach Coach.”

Erica will share how the Firm’s Incident Response practice manages the full lifecycle of the incident response process, providing student attendees a first-hand look at the fast-paced legal response to a data privacy and security incident.

Mullen Coughlin looks forward to seeing the cyber insurance industry in Philadelphia from October 5-7, 2026. Learn more about the Philadelphia Cyber Risk Summit here.

Partner Gregory Bautista joins the New York Chapter of the National Employment Lawyers Association at their 2026 Fall Conference held at Fordham University in New York on September 25. Moderated by Scott Jacobson, Greg joins cyber insurance professional Scott Tenenbaum on the CLE session, “Hackers Know Where the Money Is—And They’re Coming for Your Law Firm.”

As law firms and attorneys continue to be attractive targets for cyber threat actors, Greg uses his incident response (IR) experience to provide attendees with an inside look at the latest cyber claims trends specific to law firms and legal practices. The panel discusses the IR process and examines real-world incidents, such as ransomware attacks and social engineering schemes, to examine the legal, regulatory, financial, and operational effects of such incidents and best practices in mitigating the chance of a successful data privacy and security incident.

Mullen Coughlin is proud to support and participate in NetDiligence’s Cyber Risk Summit held in Philadelphia October 5-7, 2026. Carolyn Purwin Ryan, Chair of the Litigation practice group, serves as a Conference Co-Chair alongside cyber industry professionals, assisting with the identification, development, and implementation of Conference workshop and panel discussion topics and speakers.

Partner Ed Finn, Litigation Regional Chair, Eastern Region, joins the Breakout session, “Breach Wars: Plaintiff’s Strike Back,” on Tuesday, October 6 alongside cyber insurance and cyber litigation professionals. As data breach litigation continues to evolve, plaintiff attorneys are also evolving by developing new theories of harm and leveraging forensic evidence to support increasingly sophisticated claims. Ed and the panel use their collective experience to examine how these cases are built, share strategies for investigating and defending such claims, and discuss the ongoing legal debates around standing, damages, and liability.

Carolyn, Ed, and Mullen Coughlin look forward to seeing friends, partners, and colleagues in Philadelphia this October. Learn more about the Philadelphia Cyber Risk Summit here.
