DEVON, PA — Mullen Coughlin LLC has announced an expansion into the United Kingdom. The Pennsylvania-based law firm, which specializes in data privacy and cybersecurity legal services, has appointed Cameron Carr as a partner to spearhead its operations in the region.
The expansion is a direct response to the rising global demand for specialized data privacy and cybersecurity legal services, particularly from the cyber insurance industry. “Our expansion is in direct response to the needs of the cyber insurance industry for access to our services,” said Jennifer A. Coughlin, Co-Founder & Managing Member of Mullen Coughlin.
Carr brings over a decade of experience in data security and incident response to the role. His background includes private practice and secondment with renowned London carriers/syndicates. His appointment is seen as a significant step in Mullen Coughlin’s growth strategy.
“Since opening Mullen Coughlin in 2016, we remain true to one theme – one firm, one focus: cyber,” stated John F. Mullen, CEO of Mullen Coughlin. He added that Carr’s addition would enhance the firm’s incident response capabilities and position it to offer high-value legal advice to organizations in the UK and beyond.
Upon his appointment, Carr expressed excitement about joining Mullen Coughlin and working with colleagues across the firm to support clients and cyber insurance partners dealing with global data privacy and security incidents. He also voiced his anticipation for the firm’s expected growth and his role in expanding Mullen Coughlin’s international presence.
The expansion comes at a time when organizations globally are grappling with complex data privacy and information security regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

The move marks a significant milestone for Mullen Coughlin, demonstrating its commitment to meeting the evolving needs of its clients and the wider cyber insurance industry. As the firm extends its footprint to the UK, it sets the stage for further growth and solidifies its position as a leader in cybersecurity legal services.
