Troutman Pepper’s Kim Phan Named a 2023 Wonderful Woman by Lawyers of Color

WASHINGTON D.C. – Kim Phan, a partner in Troutman Pepper’s Privacy + Cyber Practice Group, has been recognized as a 2023 Wonderful Woman by Lawyers of Color, a nonprofit that promotes diversity in the legal profession.

Honorees are chosen through a selection committee consisting of editorial staff, fellows, and advisers that take time to review the accomplishments of notable diverse women in the field. There are also opportunities for honorees to be nominated by colleagues.

“To be chosen for this award is an extreme honor. Looking through the list of names, I see a lot of successful and diverse attorneys that are making a mark on the profession,” said Phan. “And while I am excited to see how far I’ve come; this is only the beginning. I’m looking forward to continuing my work mentoring and fostering relationships with other diverse individuals both at Troutman and across the legal space. There is a lot of work yet to do.”

Phan’s involvement in diversity outside of the firm can also be seen through her work with the National Conference of Vietnamese American Attorneys. She served as Secretary of the organization from 2021 – 2022 and continues to foster a community of diverse legal professionals through her involvement.

Phan focuses her practice on assisting companies with data breach prevention and response, including establishing effective security programs prior to a data breach and the assessment of breach response obligations following an incident.
