Eversheds Sutherland Welcomes Back Jenny Lambert as Corporate Partner in Atlanta, Strengthening Firm’s Tech-Focused Corporate Governance, Compliance and Transactional Capabilities

With extensive in-house legal leadership experience in technological transformation, she will support clients with commercial and technology transactions, AI, data privacy, cybersecurity, and outsourcing. Having led complex transactions and advised on global compliance strategies, Ms. Lambert is known as a trusted advisor to boards and senior leaders of technology companies, helping them balance innovation with governance and compliance.

“I am thrilled to welcome Jenny back to the firm. Returning with nearly 15 years of in-house experience, she will enhance our ability to provide regulatory and transactional guidance in technology and data-driven areas that are central in boardroom discussions globally,” said Lino Mendiola, Global Co-CEO and US Chief Executive of Eversheds Sutherland.

Ms. Lambert most recently served as SVP & General Counsel, Data Privacy Officer and Corporate Secretary of PRGX Global, Inc., a provider of tech and AI-enabled recovery audit and contract management services and data intelligence software. Previously, Ms. Lambert was in-house counsel at several global companies, with a focus on managing, drafting and negotiating domestic and international commercial and strategic corporate transactions, including complex technology contracts. She began her career at Eversheds Sutherland, where she was an associate in the Corporate Practice Group for five years.

"GenAI and other emerging technologies are impacting both the strategic and tactical priorities of corporate in-house legal departments across industries and organizations. Jenny’s background will build on our team’s strong foundation of delivering trusted, actionable guidance at the intersection of law and technology," said Eversheds Sutherland Partner Rachel Reid, US Head of AI.

“Jenny has a strong track record of providing strategic guidance on transactions and operational matters across complex multijurisdictional legal and regulatory frameworks,” said Eversheds Sutherland Partner Bob Copps, US Corporate Practice Group Leader and Co-Head of Global Corporate. “Our clients will benefit from her knowledge and skills as those frameworks continue to evolve.”

Ms. Lambert’s arrival comes on the heels of a busy 2025 for the firm’s US Corporate Practice Group.
