Commenting on the intense focus on the Patriot Act in Europe, Lisa Sotto, the head of Hunton & Williams' privacy and data security practice, notes "[t]he prominence of the Patriot Act is stoked in part by European cloud service providers looking to score business...That's not to say it's not a legitimate issue, but it's one that really needs to be considered in a less inflammatory fashion,” she adds. Sotto's practice focuses on global privacy and data security issues.
