John Mullen has been licensed in Pennsylvania and New Jersey since 1991, and leads Nelson Levine de Luca & Hamilton’s Privacy & Data Security Practice Area Group.

Mr. Mullen has a personal focus on preparation for and defense of network security and privacy data breach events. He has presented on network and data security issues for insurers and brokers via national webinars and presentations for organizations including NetDiligence, ACI, CPCU, RIMS and PLUS. Mr. Mullen has also had numerous articles on cyber/data loss published in various periodicals including several articles in Best’s Review.

Mr. Mullen’s privacy and data security practice centers on immediate and comprehensive response to data loss events, ideally post-event, but prior to suit. Through this approach, Mr. Mullen concentrates on determining the scope of data loss through forensics, providing advice on customer and government notification, public relations management, analyzing data/document handling and retention compliance, as well as managing appropriate customer remedies, litigation hold/e-discovery requirements, indemnity shifting analysis, class action and multi-district litigation (MDL) issues.

Specifically, Mr. Mullen serves as Breach Coach Advisor and uses a pool of independent third-party professional service providers who have the capabilities and experience to help organizations and businesses execute their data breach response. In this role, Mr. Mullen provides data breach consultation services and assists insureds as they manage the firms needed to address a data breach event such as firms handling computer forensics, notifications, call centers, public relations, crisis communications, fraud consultation, credit monitoring and identity restoration.
