Join us for our upcoming virtual Nittany Networking Breakfast on Wednesday, May 7th. For this next installment we welcome fellow alumni, Brittany Bickel, as host. Want to learn more about data security and privacy matters? Brittany will share her insights as a partner at a law firm specializing in this topical matter.

About Brittany – Brittany Bickel is a Partner at Mullen Coughlin who focuses her practice on data privacy and security incident response. Brittany guides organizations through all aspects of incident response including minimizing business disruption; determining the nature and scope of the incident; working closely with forensic investigators and law enforcement to confirm incident containment; communicating with key stakeholders; and assessing the potentially impacted parties and compliance with legal duties arising from the incident. She also assists clients with facilitating legally compliant notices to affected individuals and appropriate regulators, as necessary, and responding to any resulting inquiries.

Brittany has experience counseling organizations in the healthcare and life sciences industry, navigating relevant industry-specific laws and regulations including the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). She also has experience in counseling organizations in the professional services industry, education institutions, government entities, and manufacturers, among others.

Prior to joining Mullen Coughlin, Brittany was an M&A Tax Consultant at a “Big Four” accounting firm where she assisted clients in determining and evaluating the tax implications of mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, reorganizations and refinancings.

As usual, we will reserve some time for general conversation, idea sharing, and the opportunity to meet the many talented Smeal and Penn State Alumni in the area.
