The Recorder Recognizes Ann Marie Mortimer in 2024 California Legal Awards

Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP is pleased to announce that Los Angeles partner Ann Marie Mortimer was recently honored in the “Women Leaders in Tech Law” category in The Recorder’s 2024 California Legal Awards. The category, which this year includes 31 lawyers, celebrates the top women attorneys whose recent achievements have contributed to progress at technology companies and in the law. In particular, Mortimer’s sub-category of Litigation honored just nine women.

Head of the firm’s commercial litigation practice and founder and managing partner of the Los Angeles office, Mortimer is well-versed in advising high-profile clients on data protection and compliance with regulatory mandates on privacy and data security. She was the lead lawyer defending an internet service provider in a class action lawsuit that has been deemed the largest data breach in history and was featured as lead counsel on one of the Daily Journal’s Top Defense Verdicts in California for her representation of one of the largest American multinational big box retailers in a class action lawsuit involving an alleged data privacy breach and its precedent-setting decision was one of the first dismissals of a California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) claim on the merits. Mortimer’s leadership in complex commercial litigation extends to model leadership within her firm and the community as one of only a handful of female managing partners in California and a member of the firm’s executive committee.
