Privacy Pro Moves to Shook’s Privacy & Cybersecurity Team

Shook, Hardy & Bacon continues to build its deep bench of privacy and cybersecurity lawyers with the addition of Partner Jad Sheikali. Sheikali’s legal prowess covers a wide swath of services including litigation, transactional counseling and regulatory guidance for clients in the startup, technology and software space, as well as public and private universities. Top of mind for the Chicago-based lawyer is the impact of artificial intelligence on privacy and cybersecurity for all industries.

“The world moves at lightning speed. For example, companies experimenting with AI facial recognition for processing sensitive data using camera services technologies can create a legal landscape fraught with risk if they are not careful,” said Sheikali from his Chicago office. “Having known Shook’s privacy leader Al Saikali for many years, I’m very excited about collaborating with his team on AI issues and other cutting-edge areas that will have an impact on just about everyone.”
