We assist clients with issues related to data collection, use, security, and disclosure, as well as with claims involving constitutional privacy, tort invasion of privacy, statutes with private rights of action, and consumer protection.  

Known for crafting novel defenses, we also counsel clients on designing their products with risk mitigation in mind. Additionally, we have specific experience coordinating the defense of both regulatory and class-action litigation stemming from the same occurrence, which requires careful tracking of different timelines and discovery requirements.  

Our industry-leading privacy class-action experience addresses a breadth of matters, from cases asserting violations of specific federal and state privacy laws to those asserting more general claims involving consumers’ personal data, such as constitutional, tort, and consumer protection claims. 

We handled some of the first class actions brought under the Illinois Biometric Privacy Act. Since its launch, we have litigated dozens of these cases, achieving many successes for our clients. We also counsel companies on avoiding lawsuits under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and similar state statutes, defend against claims brought under these laws, and provide representation before the Federal Communications Commission in rulemaking and enforcement proceedings.
