Sterlington Adds Litigation Partner Christopher Hurld

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sterlington PLLC announced today that Christopher Hurld has joined the firm as a partner in its Litigation practice. Hurld joins Sterlington from EverQuote, a publicly traded online insurance marketplace, where he served as General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer. He previously practiced as Counsel at Jones Day.

Hurld focuses his practice on plaintiff-side litigation involving AI, cybersecurity, and data privacy, including the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and other telemarketing statutes, emerging data privacy and cybersecurity regimes, and other consumer protection laws. He is also an experienced data breach and privacy lawyer, having advised companies on multinational data security incidents and compliance with data privacy and cybersecurity requirements, including the CCPA, GDPR, HIPAA, GLBA, and PCI-DSS.

As an experienced in-house and corporate defense counsel, Hurld brings an operator’s understanding of how companies analyze compliance requirements and balance legal risk against operational objectives.

"Chris has deep experience navigating AI, cybersecurity, and data privacy matters from inside a public company, as well as years of litigation experience at leading firms," said Christopher S. Harrison, Managing Partner of Sterlington. "That combination makes him a great fit for our Litigation practice."
