Class action suits and mass arbitration claims asserted under the CCPA/CPRA, Illinois Biometric Information Act, Genetic Information Privacy Act, unfair competition, wiretap, and an array of other federal and state statutory and common law theories of recovery are not amenable to “one size fits all” solutions – for either litigators or compliance lawyers. This panel will outline the latest trends in data privacy, cybersecurity breach, AdTech and AI class action litigation, defense strategies to win or resolve cases on favorable terms, and more advanced strategies developed over a period of years in defending dozens of class action suits and an even greater number of mass arbitration claims. Among other things, this panel will discuss the latest case law and trends, strategies from initial filing through class certification, settlement and (if applicable) trial, and when to fight and when and how to settle lawsuits and mass arbitration claims without overpaying. This panel will also outline unique transactional strategies to mitigate the risks associated with class action litigation and mass arbitration that compliance lawyers who have not spent extensive time defending litigation otherwise may miss. Attendees will receive extensive materials, including excerpts from Ian Ballon’s legal treatise, E-Commerce & Internet Law (www.IanBallon.net).
