Morrison Foerster announced the arrival of Ed Chang as a partner in the Complex Litigation Group in the Los Angeles office. Chang brings over two decades of experience representing blue chip clients in all aspects of complex litigation with an emphasis on high-stakes consumer and commercial litigation. His focus includes cybersecurity and privacy class actions, complicated business disputes, investigations, and regulatory compliance matters.
 
Chang joins Morrison Foerster from another prominent global firm, where he spent the last 18 years and built a nationally recognized complex litigation and cybersecurity/privacy practice. He has served as lead counsel in hundreds of individual as well as class/mass actions and arbitrations, government investigations, and other “bet the company” disputes. He also regularly leads cyber incident response teams in major investigations and provides strategic counsel on sensitive cybersecurity and privacy matters. This includes advising executive leadership and boards of directors on mergers and acquisitions, public relations, and crisis management issues. During his tenure at the firm, he also held several leadership roles, including Office Hiring Partner, Office Diversity Chair, and Office Administrative Partner.
 
“Clients are increasingly turning to firms that can not only respond in a crisis but also defend them when the inevitable follow-on investigations and litigation materialize,” said Erin Bosman, Global Co-Chair of Morrison Foerster’s Litigation Department. “Ed’s presence significantly strengthens our complex litigation capabilities and fits well with the already robust collaboration between our Complex Litigation and Privacy + Data Security practices, making him a terrific strategic fit for MoFo and for our clients seeking guidance with these multifaceted issues.”
 
“Morrison Foerster’s preeminent Complex Litigation, Cybersecurity, and Privacy practices were what attracted me to the firm. The fact that MoFo has great synergies with my client base and practice were simply a bonus,” said Chang. “I am excited to leverage my longstanding client relationships on MoFo’s standout platform to grow my practice and help clients navigate the entire life cycle of their most sophisticated cyber and privacy matters, from the initial incident through resulting litigation and government investigations,” he added.
