Mac Murray & Shuster LLP, an ACA International member company based in Ohio, has recently promoted Josh Stevens to partner. The promotion was effective Jan. 1, and Stevens will head the firm’s new office in Cincinnati.
First joining Mac Murray & Shuster as an associate in 2016, Stevens has almost a decade of experience both managing and advising businesses on complex consumer protection and privacy laws, according to a news release. Previously serving as an in-house attorney, he brings a unique understanding of the challenges and pitfalls businesses face in trying to meet compliance obligations without impeding their operational, financial and innovation objectives. Stevens works with Mac Murray & Shuster clients nationwide, assessing, building and implementing risk-based compliance management programs, with a particular focus on federal and state privacy laws. Along with Nick Whisler, a partner at the firm, Stevens has been instrumental in leading the firm’s growing privacy practice.
Stevens is a strong advocate for participation in the legal community and is actively engaged with the Cincinnati Bar Association, where he founded the LGBT Interests Committee and currently serves on the Diversity and Inclusion Committee. A leader within the National Association of Minority and Women Owned Law Firms, Stevens also founded and chairs the Privacy Subcommittee of the Intellectual Property Practice Area Committee. He was recently recognized by Best Lawyers in its 2021 inaugural “Ones to Watch” list, in the area of communications law.
“Josh has long been a valuable member of our compliance team and in particular, our privacy practice,” Managing Partner Michele Shuster said in the news release. “We are thrilled to welcome him as our newest partner and know he will be an integral part of the firm’s long-term growth and success. I am a Cincinnati native and know that our Cincinnati office is in great hands under his leadership.”
