Andrew Pak Joins Constangy as Cybersecurity & Data Privacy Partner in Orange County

Constangy is pleased to announce that Andrew Pak has joined the firm's nationally recognized Cyber Team as a partner in its Orange County, California office.

Andrew works with Constangy’s cyber litigation practice, defending organizations in complex class action litigation arising from data security incidents and data privacy-related claims. 

Prior to joining Constangy, Andrew represented major software companies of Am Law 100 firms for over five years in high-stakes regulatory inquiries and assisted service providers in complex privacy litigation matters.  He also advised clients on cybersecurity preparedness, incident response and risk mitigation.  He also served as corporate counsel for a Fortune 100 financial services firm for three years, handling sensitive cybersecurity and data privacy incident response matters and internal investigations.  These positions drew upon his experience as a former Assistant U.S. Attorney and Cybercrime Coordinator for the U.S. Attorney's Office in the District of New Jersey, where he prosecuted significant cybercrime and fraud matters. He also served as Senior Trial Counsel for the U.S. Department of Justice Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section, where he handled cybercrime prosecutions, coordinated litigation strategy, and advised on cybersecurity policy and legislative matters.

"Andrew brings an exceptional combination of litigation, government, and in-house experience to our Cyber Team," said Neil Wasser, chair of Constangy's executive committee. "His background handling complex cybercrime prosecutions, regulatory matters, incident response, and data privacy litigation gives him a well-rounded perspective that will be invaluable to clients facing today's evolving cybersecurity and privacy challenges. We are excited to welcome him to Constangy."

Andrew earned his Juris Doctor, magna cum laude and Order of the Coif, from the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, where he served as Executive Editor of the Cardozo Law Review. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Cognitive Science with a Specialization in Computing from the University of California at Los Angeles.
