ANN MARIE MORTIMER

Managing Partner, Los Angeles; Co-Head, Commercial Litigation Practice Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP

Ann Marie Mortimer, co-head of Hunton Andrew Kurth’s commercial litigation practice and founder and managing partner of the firm’s Los Angeles office, is at the forefront of complex litigation in the male-dominated field of cybersecurity. She counsels Fortune 50 companies –among them giants in their respective industries – on the novel challenges and regulations endemic to our increasingly virtual world, simultaneously leading the way for other women in the data privacy realm.

Mortimer’s combination of legal technical brilliance blended with bottom-line pragmatism is the reason clients return to her repeatedly to navigate their most challenging class action, commercial and data breach cases. Over the last year alone, she has doubled her caseload for Facebook (now Meta Platforms, Inc.), spearheading at least a dozen statutory actions; and has taken on multiple new matters for a telecoms giant involving complex class actions.
