We advise and represent businesses in all facets of data security, privacy, and technology litigation. We work with our clients proactively to implement the best practices and policies with respect to data security and privacy to avoid legal problems before they start. When a data security incident occurs, we serve as breach counsel to provide comprehensive assistance to our clients to navigate the investigation and notification requirements that must be followed. After an incident, we defend clients against government investigations or enforcement actions, as well as third-party litigation such as class action lawsuits by customers or clients and all manner of Technology Errors & Omissions (Tech E&O) claims.

Successes

Justin Boron, Kevin Ringel and Danielle Ocampo successfully obtained a dismissal on all counts in a data breach class action lawsuit. Plaintiffs alleged they suffered injuries as a result of a data breach incident and sought damages on behalf of a putative class of 284,443 individuals. The court granted our client’s motion to dismiss and dismissed Plaintiffs’ complaint in its entirety. The court agreed with our client’s arguments and ruled that Plaintiffs failed to allege that they had been actually harmed by the data breach in a way that is fairly traceable to our client, and, because of this, lacked standing to pursue the claims.
