Data Privacy Class Actions

We have handled more high-profile, large-scale data breach and privacy class action litigation than any other law firm, including matters with billions of dollars at stake. Across practices, we work together to strategize, manage, and anticipate the legal issues and workflows that arise immediately after a data security incident – integrating incident response, regulator engagement, government investigations, and defense of class actions brought by consumers, small businesses, and financial institutions, as well as related securities class actions.

We develop an early strategic focus that is often missing in data breach litigation, including managing and staging discovery, identifying and briefing issues of critical strategic importance, and building an end-game resolution strategy from day one. We also field a strong team for complex discovery, expert witnesses, and privilege issues.

As privacy law proliferates at the state level and regulatory scrutiny intensifies, we also help clients stay ahead of what comes next with regard to privacy claims while executing a coordinated litigation strategy. Our litigators are proven across all phases of privacy litigation – dispositive motions, discovery, class certification, hearings, and trial – and are known for “uncharted” legal wins in this space.

We defend privacy class actions brought under a wide range of statutes and regimes, including the BIPA, CIPA, CCPA, CDPA, COPPA, DPPA, ECPA, FCRA, GLBA, GDPR, TCPA, VPPA, among other evolving state and federal claims.

We are trail blazers in litigation driven by emerging legislation, including defending some of the first-of-their-kind class actions.
