Privacy + Data Security Litigation

We have successfully handled some of the largest and highest-profile privacy and data security class actions and investigations. We have a deep bench and a long and successful track record defending high-stakes cases that threaten a company’s reputation, business model, and bottom line. Our expertise spans the full spectrum of privacy litigation, from data breach class actions to cases alleging violations of state and federal privacy laws, to regulatory and attorney general investigations and enforcement.

As a team, we are experienced in resolving technical issues and understand the risks that companies face as they implement business strategies involving consumer data or take steps to increase the resilience of their systems to protect against a breach. We work with our clients to understand the technology and systems at issue and can communicate complex concepts to opposing counsel, judges, and regulators in plain English.

We Provide an Integrated Approach

We work seamlessly with our regulatory and compliance teams to develop a defense plan before or when litigation arises. We coordinate across offices, continents, and specialties, all with deep insights into the latest legal developments and how they impact matters. Working effectively with the regulatory teams enables us to provide a cost‐effective and comprehensive response to litigation and the overall risk posed by data breaches and other privacy issues. Developing a cohesive understanding of each matter and using a single vocabulary allow us to avoid the hiccups that could arise when different narratives or terms are used with regulators, state AGs, and data protection authorities, or in the defense of class action litigation.
