Privacy Class Action Defense

Privacy Class Action Defense

Defending businesses and offering proactive strategies to mitigate the risk of lawsuits.

Companies that must coordinate defense of both regulatory and class-action litigation from the same occurrence must comply with different timelines and discovery requirements to achieve success.

Perkins Coie’s Privacy Class Action Defense lawyers have served as defense for the world's most innovative companies and industry leaders. Our experience spans all manner of privacy class actions, from alleged violations of specific federal and state privacy laws—like the California Consumer Privacy Act, Secure Communications Act, Wiretap Act, Telephone Consumer Protection Act, and Biometric Information Privacy Act—to cases asserting more general claims involving consumers’ personal data, such as the common law intrusion upon seclusion and violation of constitutional privacy rights. Plaintiffs often bring these cases on behalf of putative classes that number in the thousands or even millions, so they bring potential exposure in the millions of dollars and the risk of business interruption from threatened injunctive relief. 

We aim for a swift and efficient disposition of the case. When that is not desired or achievable, we have the breadth and depth of experience necessary to litigate privacy class actions from beginning to end. We have successfully obtained summary judgment dismissal of claims, defeated class certification, negotiated walkaways or favorable individual and class settlements, and obtained court approval of class settlements. 

Our practice is anchored and informed by our lawyers’ subject matter experience in both privacy law and numerous other practices, including artificial intelligence, biometric law, retail, fintech, and more. We are ranked among the leading firms globally and nationally in Privacy & Security: The Elite and Privacy & Security: Litigation by Chambers Global and Chambers USA. 

Our Litigation team includes more than 70 lawyers focused exclusively on litigating and advising clients in privacy matters. And because we recognize that the best defense is to avoid being sued in the first place, our litigators also counsel companies on steps they can take to mitigate litigation risk.
