California Lawyers Association 2nd Annual Privacy Summit

The California Lawyers Association 2nd Annual Privacy Summit will take place February 8-9, 2024 at the UCLA Meyer and Renee Luskin Conference Center in Los Angeles. On Thursday, February 8, Greenberg Traurig Shareholder Ian C. Ballon, co-chair of the Global Intellectual Property & Technology Group, will be a panelist during the session, "Privacy Law in the Courts: Trends in Private Litigation and Privacy Class Actions." The panel will provide an overview of privacy litigation trends, including class actions, evolving uses of wiretapping laws, common law privacy rights, biometric privacy laws, data breaches, and the Video Privacy Protection Act. The session will discuss the evolution of privacy litigation, including the increased scrutiny of data privacy on websites and mobile apps, theories that are gaining traction and those that appear to be on their way out, as well as the uptick in litigation and enforcement activity. The panel will also examine ways to mitigate risk, especially with laws that include a private right of action or statutory damages.
