Mayer Brown, a firm whose partner machinations were once controversially tied to a comedian-turned-television lawyer poised to return to the small screen next year, has been busy over the past month reshuffling its ranks around the world.

The firm announced its hire last week of cybersecurity and data privacy counsel KENDALL BURMAN in Washington, D.C., from her role as deputy general counsel for strategic initiatives at the U.S. Department of Commerce. Mayer Brown also brought on real estate counsel ANA ACENA in Chicago from local boutique Ginsberg Jacobs, where she was a partner, and antitrust of counsel WARSHA KALE in London from her role as an associate director at British firm Berwin Leighton Paisner.
