“MSK has built a reputation for successfully handling hugely consequential employment-related matters for a diverse cross-section of industries, and I couldn’t be happier to be a part of their accomplished team,” said Mittman. “I look forward to helping the firm’s clients navigate the ever-evolving U.S. and international employment and data protection laws.”
