Fox Rothschild has repeatedly said its ambitious expansion efforts are focused on the U.S., but its latest data privacy hire has an eye on international deals and Europe’s new General Data Protection Regulation.

The firm said Monday that it has hired Philadelphia lawyer Odia Kagan to head up a GDPR compliance and international privacy group. Kagan, who joins from Ballard Spahr, is an M&A lawyer who now spends all of her time working with companies to structure their products, services and transactions so they are compliant with privacy and data security regulations and best practices, both in the U.S. and abroad, she said.
