As first reported by TechCrunch, Facebook hired Ashlie Beringer, currently a litigation partner at Palo Alto-based Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher and the co-chair of the law firm’s Information Technology and Data Privacy practice group.

TechCrunch notes that Beringer will manage Facebook’s legal department’s litigation, regulatory and product groups — roughly 20 employees. Her first day at Facebook will come Nov.
