Michael Jervis is an associate attorney at Mullen Coughlin LLC.  Mr. Jervis focuses his practice on assisting clients in preparing for and responding to data security incidents.  Mr. Jervis provides counsel as clients respond to both data security incidents and regulatory investigations.  After determining the scope of a data security incident, Mr. Jervis identifies the governing state, federal, international, and contractual duties that dictate the requisite response, and helps clients satisfy the necessary regulations and plan to prevent such future events.

Prior to joining Mullen Coughlin, Mr. Jervis practiced civil litigation for more than five years, focusing on insurance coverage, commercial litigation matters, and personal injury defense.  As part of that practice, Mr. Jervis routinely handled cases involving exposure to his clients into the millions of dollars and investigated and defended against those claims through investigations and court appearances.  Before his legal career, Mr. Jervis worked in software development and information technology, experience he brings to bear when counseling his clients who have suffered a data breach or other security incident.
