The interplay between putative class action suits and mass arbitration claims requires businesses to take new and different approaches to successfully defend data privacy, AdTech and cybersecurity breach class action suits. Failing to do so can lead to critical — and sometimes irreversible — mistakes. This panel will focus on both the latest law and trends and more importantly the strategies that companies must employ to successfully defend the perfect storm of putative class action suits and mass arbitrations. Topics covered, based on real world examples, will include whether and how to enforce arbitration provisions, how to revise arbitration clauses and online and mobile contract formation processes and procedures to account for the new threats posed, venue, MDL, initial motion practice, class certification and settlement strategies. This panel will address both troll claims and serious multidistrict litigation occurring in tandem with mass arbitration. Warning – not for the faint hearted!
