Blank Rome, a prominent legal firm, announced the addition of Philip N. Yannella to the corporate litigation group as a partner. Alongside his role in corporate litigation, Yannella will serve as co-chair of the privacy, security, and data protection practice based in Philadelphia. The announcement was met with anticipation as Yannella brings an extensive and comprehensive understanding of regulatory compliance, privacy litigation, data breach counseling, investigations and data governance to the firm. Bloomberg Law Automation provided a detailed report on this development.
Yannella’s experience in representing clients in privacy and data security litigations is noted for his depth of knowledge handling lawsuits under high-stakes regulations such as the Defense of Trade Secrets Act, Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and the Stored Communications Act. Prior to joining Blank Rome, Yannella served as a partner and co-leader of the privacy and data security group at Ballard Spahr, further underscoring his expertise in this legal field.
The addition of an expert like Yannella to Blank Rome signals a reinforced commitment towards ensuring compliance with increasingly vital data protection norms, leaving clients secure in the knowledge that their sensitive information will be safeguarded. His credentials will not only boost the firm’s corporate litigation group but will positively influence the firm’s standing in privacy, security, and data protection.
