Ryan Blaney has rejoined Proskauer Rose as a partner from Cozen O’Connor, where he chaired the firm’s privacy and data security practice. Blaney will work in Proskauer’s health care practice as a partner in Washington, D.C.

Blaney was previously a senior associate at Proskauer before departing in 2014 for Cozen. After little more than five years, he is returning to Proskauer. Blaney agreed to an interview, but later declined through a spokeswoman, and issued a statement saying he was “honored” to rejoin Proskauer.
