Lillian Hardy

In an unexpected crisis or complex investigation or inquiry, clients need to identify core issues and develop strategies to efficiently resolve them – ideally before things go public, but oftentimes while everyone is watching already. Lillian Hardy has managed incidents and investigations, large and small, for clients on five continents with these goals in mind.

Lillian heads the firm's multidisciplinary, global crisis management practice, the HL Crisis Leadership Team. She also works with companies to develop and improve their compliance programs.

Lillian focuses her practice on Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) investigations, economic sanctions, cybersecurity and data privacy-related investigations, consumer financial protection enforcement actions, and other government investigations.

Clients in highly regulated industries turn to Lillian for representation in investigations and whistleblower litigation involving the Anti-Kickback Statute; the False Claims Act; the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act; and many other federal and state laws. Lillian's data privacy and cybersecurity know-how comes from managing incident response, remediation, fact investigation, and notification and reporting obligations in data security incidents for Fortune 500 companies.

Lillian's business-minded and practical client service approach was honed during her year-long in-house secondment at a Fortune 500 multinational conglomerate, where she focused on compliance.
