Michael A. Sussmann (born 1964) is the Chair of the Privacy and Cybersecurity Practice at Fenwick & West. He is a former federal prosecutor and former partner at the law firm Perkins Coie, where he focused on privacy and cybersecurity law. Sussmann represented the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and retained CrowdStrike to examine its servers after Russian hackers penetrated DNC networks during the 2016 U.S. elections.

In September 2016, Sussmann met with FBI General Counsel James Baker to present data alleging communications between Alfa-Bank servers and the Trump Organization. In 2021, Special Counsel John Durham indicted Sussmann for making a false statement, alleging he told Baker he was not acting on behalf of any client when he was representing the Hillary Clinton 2016 presidential campaign. Sussmann pleaded not guilty and was acquitted by a jury in May 2022.
