       (Reuters) - Law firm Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith
said Monday it has rehired privacy and cybersecurity lawyer
Kamran Salour, who left the firm a year ago to join
Troutman Pepper Hamilton Sanders.
    He will serve as co-chair of Lewis Brisbois' data privacy
and cybersecurity practice, based in Orange County, California. 
    The practice group saw 32 attorneys, including practice
chair Sean Hoar, depart for labor and employment law firm
Constangy, Brooks, Smith & Prophete in February. 
    A month after the group departure, Los Angeles-founded Lewis
Brisbois hired six data privacy attorneys, including
Mississippi-based data privacy and cybersecurity co-chair Robert
Walker, from Wilson Elser Moskowitz Edelman & Dicker.
    Salour said he is looking forward to rebuilding the firm's
cybersecurity team, with plans to hire up to five attorneys soon
and eventually grow further. The team now has about eight
lawyers, Salour said.
    Salour helps clients with creating proactive cybersecurity
measures, preparing vendor contracts, and keeping in compliance
with laws and regulations, the firm said.
    A Troutman Pepper spokesperson said the firm wished Salour
well.
