We sat down with Sheri and discussed her work, what drew her to ZwillGen, and what keeps her busy outside of the office. Read our conversation →

Sheri represents clients in a broad range of privacy, data, and technology matters, in both litigation disputes and counseling matters.

As a litigator, Sheri specializes in defending companies in privacy class actions brought under various federal and state statutes, including the VPPA, federal and state wiretapping laws (such as CIPA and WESCA), ECPA/SCA, Copyright Act/DMCA, and trademark laws. Sheri regularly appears in court to argue novel issues related to privacy, data security, and government access to user data. She has counseled clients in all stages of litigation, including pre-filing negotiations, dispositive motions, discovery, mediation, and individual and classwide settlements.

Additionally, Sheri regularly counsels companies in navigating the quagmire of data and privacy compliance laws, including the CCPA/CPRA, BIPA, ECPA/SCA, and federal and state gambling laws. She specializes in advising clients on implementing analytics and advertising technologies, such as pixels, session replay, and cookies, in ways that mitigate litigation risk. She also drafts and reviews privacy policies and terms of use, and works extensively with financial services clients to leverage alternative data responsibly by reducing risk, maintaining best practices, and conducting due diligence of vendors.

Before joining ZwillGen, Sheri clerked for the Honorable John M. Walker, Jr. in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and the Honorable Robert B. Kugler in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. There, she handled the full range of civil and criminal matters including statutory interpretation questions of first impression; constitutional appeals under the First Amendment, Fourth Amendment, and Commerce Clause; and wire fraud and conspiracy matters.

After law school, Sheri worked as a litigator at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher where she represented clients on privacy, copyright, and trademark matters. Representative matters included counseling on Facebook’s 2019 consent decree and favorably resolving a trademark dispute in the Eastern District of Virginia’s “rocket docket.”

Sheri obtained a J.D. cum laude from Harvard Law School where she taught copyright law as a teaching fellow and interned at the Berkman Klein Center. Before law school, she worked at Google responding to legal requests for user data.

Sheri is a frequent commentator on emerging privacy and technology issues, with articles appearing in the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP), Future of Privacy Forum (FPF), and Practising Law Institute (PLI). Outside the office, she enjoys film photography, hiking, and training her puppy.
