Elisa D’Amico

Elisa D’Amico is a litigation partner with a unique legal practice: helping businesses and individuals fight invasion of privacy, defamation, internet-based abuse, and other First Amendment violations.

She counsels clients about myriad internet privacy, technology, and cyber harassment issues, including internet-based fraud, unfair and deceptive acts and practices, and internet marketing.

Ms. D’Amico is the co-founder of the Cyber Civil Rights Legal Project (CCRLP), a global K&L Gates pro bono project providing legal services to victims of nonconsensual pornography (i.e., “revenge porn”) when their sexually explicit images are distributed and displayed online without consent. The CCRLP utilizes the firm’s elite cybersecurity and cyber forensics practices, allowing volunteers to deliver quality pro bono services to victims across the globe.

Since its inception in late 2014, the CCRLP already has removed thousands of offending images and videos from the internet, helping hundreds of victims fight back and reclaim their online identities.

Before joining K&L Gates, Ms. D’Amico practiced law in New York at another global law firm. She also has worked as a legal intern for a prominent criminal defense attorney and trial lawyer, aiding in numerous white collar criminal matters.
