WASHINGTON, D.C., July 16, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Amy S. Mushawar has been included in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Mrs. Mushahwar currently serves as chair of the Data Privacy, Security, Safety and Risk Management practice at Lowenstein Sandler LLP, a position she has held since 2024. In this capacity, she leads multidisciplinary teams in responding to client data breaches, managing cybersecurity threats and advising organizations on privacy, information governance, data protection, artificial intelligence, digital safety and cyber risk. Her work includes guiding clients through active cyberattacks, payment security issues, regulatory investigations and complex incident response matters, while also supporting the development of new products and business models involving sensitive data, security architecture and threat intelligence.

A defining component of Mrs. Mushahwar's leadership at Lowenstein Sandler is Data360, the firm's integrated approach to managing data privacy, cybersecurity, safety and risk across the full lifecycle of business operations. Through Data360, she helps organizations move beyond reactive compliance by embedding privacy, security and safety controls into product development, business strategy, engineering workflows and operational infrastructure. The model reflects her long-standing belief that modern data counsel must understand not only the law, but also the systems, data flows, controls and technical realities that determine whether legal requirements can be implemented effectively.

In addition, Mrs. Mushahwar advises on go-to-market strategies for new security products and companies, incubates security businesses and works closely with government contractors, security-focused organizations and data-driven enterprises to structure, monetize and operationalize high-value security and threat intelligence data. She incorporates geopolitical analysis into cyber risk assessments, evaluating how global conflicts and nation-state threat actors influence cyber activity and risk exposure for the United States and multinational companies.

Throughout her more than two decades in law and technology, Mrs. Mushahwar has developed deep expertise in privacy and data security, particularly in legal engineering — the translation of legal, regulatory and governance concepts into practical, operational systems. Her approach bridges the gap between legal accountability and engineering execution, helping companies convert privacy, cybersecurity and AI governance obligations into controls, workflows, documentation, monitoring practices and product requirements that can be understood and implemented by technical teams.

Mrs. Mushahwar is recognized for her ability to understand attack patterns used by hackers and threat actors following security incidents, as well as for her capacity to evaluate how business systems collect, use, transfer, secure and retain data. Her legal engineering work includes advising on data architecture, privacy tagging logic, incident response logging, AI governance infrastructure, model inventories, authorization controls, runtime monitoring and other technical mechanisms that allow companies to demonstrate compliance, reduce risk and build trust.

Prior to joining Lowenstein Sandler LLP, Mrs. Mushahwar was a partner at Alston & Bird from 2019 to 2024, where she played a leadership role within the privacy and cybersecurity practice. During her tenure, she guided clients through complex regulatory environments and contributed to the advancement of legal engineering in privacy and data security. Between 2017 and 2019, she was a partner in the privacy and security team at Davis Wright Tremaine LLP, where she handled a range of matters involving emerging threats, regulatory compliance, privacy counseling and cybersecurity risk.

From 2014 to 2017, Mrs. Mushahwar served as chief information security officer and counsel at ZwillGen. In this dual role, she combined technical expertise with legal acumen to address sophisticated cybersecurity challenges. Her earlier experience includes serving as of counsel in the data privacy and security group at Ballard Spahr LLP from 2012 to 2014, where she advised clients on evolving data privacy and security regulations.

Between 2009 and 2012, Mrs. Mushahwar was a senior associate at Reed Smith LLP, focusing on privacy law during a period marked by frequent credit card breaches and the rise of hacking incidents. She began her legal career as an attorney at Hogan & Hartson from 2007 to 2009 after working as an associate at Holland & Knight LLP from 2005 to 2007. Her professional journey began at George Washington University's CIRC from 1997 to 2001, where her early work in technology helped shape the interdisciplinary perspective that would later define her legal career.

Among Mrs. Mushahwar's significant professional contributions is her role in envisioning and advancing Data360, a legal-tech talent and service model designed to align legal, regulatory, cybersecurity and technical expertise. Built around the realities of modern data-driven businesses, Data360 brings together lawyers and professionals with backgrounds in privacy, cybersecurity, engineering, regulatory enforcement, incident response and emerging technology. The initiative reflects Mrs. Mushahwar's broader commitment to changing how legal services are delivered in the data economy: not as abstract compliance advice, but as practical, embedded guidance that helps companies design, defend and sustain trusted systems.

Data360 also reflects Mrs. Mushahwar's personal career path. Having begun her professional journey in technology before entering law, she understands the challenges that arise when legal teams and technical teams do not speak the same language. Her work has focused on reducing that translation gap by helping lawyers become more fluent in systems, architecture and data flows, while helping engineers and business leaders understand how legal obligations should shape design, deployment and governance decisions.

Among Mrs. Mushahwar's most meaningful achievements is her mentorship of professionals who have advanced into leadership roles across the industry, including chief privacy officers and partners in other practices. She has also managed complex cases intersecting with criminal investigations, illegal activity by subsidiaries and international threat groups targeting startup companies.

Mrs. Mushahwar's professional affiliations reflect her longstanding commitment to the field. She has been a member of Chief since 2024 and has remained active with the Federal Communications Bar Association since 2001, serving as co-chair of its data privacy committee since 2009 and previously holding leadership roles on its commendations committee and national telecommunications moot court committee. She is also affiliated with the International Association of Privacy Professionals, InfraGard National Capital Region Alliance and the American Bar Association.

Mrs. Mushahwar's academic background includes earning a Juris Doctor from the Columbus School of Law at The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., in 2005. She also earned a specialized certificate in communications law from the same institution that year. Previously, she completed a Bachelor of Arts in political communication, international affairs and history at George Washington University in Washington in 2001. Mrs. Mushahwar is admitted to practice law in the District of Columbia, Virginia, before the United States Supreme Court and the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.

Reflecting on her career, Mrs. Mushahwar credits her resilience and work ethic to her upbringing on a farm, where early mornings and physical chores instilled discipline from a young age. Her educational journey was shaped by scholarships and self-reliance, experiences that fostered determination throughout her career. Her entry into law was influenced by firsthand experience with technology risk while working as an IT consultant during her undergraduate studies. Encountering a company breach without adequate legal guidance inspired her pursuit of legal education just as privacy law was beginning to evolve rapidly.

Mrs. Mushahwar believes effective leadership is grounded in both high performance and respect for people. She is committed to fostering a culture built on trust, collaboration and sustainability, while empowering teams to deliver exceptional results. Her leadership philosophy emphasizes creating environments where professionals can thrive personally and professionally without compromising excellence.

Throughout her career, Mrs. Mushahwar has earned recognition for her leadership and contributions to the field. Her honors include being named to Legal 500's City Elite in Privacy and Data Security in 2026, inclusion among Lawdragon's "100 Leading AI and Legal Tech Advisors" in 2026 and selection to Cybersecurity Docket's Incident Response "Elite" list that same year.

In addition to her professional achievements, Mrs. Mushahwar has demonstrated a strong commitment to civic engagement, including serving as chair of the White Hat Gala benefiting Children's National Hospital.

Outside her professional commitments, Mrs. Mushahwar values time spent with family and prioritizes fitness as an essential part of life balance. Combat sports are central to her routine; she has practiced boxing for nearly 20 years, participates in triathlons and shares taekwondo training with her husband and son as a family activity. Exercise serves both as stress relief from demanding work responsibilities and as moving meditation — particularly running — while boxing workouts provide efficient cardio-strength training.

Looking ahead, Mrs. Mushahwar aims to guide her team, firm and clients through the evolving landscape shaped by artificial intelligence, data-intensive technologies and increased regulatory scrutiny. Through her work in Data360 and legal engineering, she is focused on helping organizations operationalize AI governance in ways that are technically meaningful, legally defensible and aligned with principles of fairness, transparency, privacy protection and accountability. Her goal is to ensure that clients are not merely adopting written policies, but are building the infrastructure, controls and evidence needed to govern emerging technologies responsibly.
