Foley & Lardner’s Tampa office is gaining a new partner focused on cybersecurity and data privacy within the firm’s government enforcement defense and investigations practice from Carlton Fields.

Joe Swanson is joining the Milwaukee-headquartered law firm as Florida’s growth attracts more activity, specifically the state’s massive middle district. Swanson’s experience as a prosecutor has put him in contact with many cybersecurity and privacy issues, making him an attractive choice for Foley’s operations in the key district.
