Career
Andrew Serwin is one of the pre-eminent privacy and security practitioners in the world. He has worked on some of the highest-profile privacy and security matters, and clients describe him as a “rock star lawyer,” “a walking encyclopedia on anything data protection related” and “a tireless worker, holding onto the ever-shifting puzzle pieces of the law in this area in a way that other privacy lawyers cannot” (Chambers USA).
Andrew offers clients the practical experience that comes from having counseled on many of the highest-profile privacy and cybersecurity matters of recent years, with the breadth of knowledge that comes from authoring the premier global treatise on privacy and cybersecurity.
With extensive business and leadership experience, Andrew understands his clients’ businesses, industries and unique challenges. He has founded, advised and served on the board of directors of many companies, particularly in the transformational technology and media sectors. He also holds advanced certifications in governance, including as a National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD) Governance Fellow and Carnegie Mellon University’s Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) certification in cyber oversight.
Memberships
Andrew serves as chairman of the board of directors of the private-sector federally- funded National Cyber Forensic Training Alliance (NCFTA), an entity that functions as a forum for private industry, academia and law enforcement, with a core mission to identify, mitigate and neutralize cybercrime. In addition, he serves as an advisor to the Naval Postgraduate School’s Center for Asymmetric Warfare and is the CEO and executive director of the Lares Institute, a think tank focused on privacy, information superiority and national security issues.
