Spencer Persson, CIPP/US, is an experienced litigator with the firm's privacy, security, and technology group where he represents clients in data privacy matters and consumer class actions. Throughout his career as a litigator, Spencer has regularly secured verdicts and favorable settlements for his clients, which include technology companies, retailers, manufacturers, entertainment companies, insurers, healthcare providers, and financial service providers, among others.

Practice Highlights

Privacy litigation

Spencer focuses on litigation defense relating to data breaches, phishing scams, or other losses of sensitive personally identifying information and personal health information. Working in concert with the client and forensic analysts, he has successfully obtained early resolution of common law claims or claims under state law privacy statutes such as California's Customer Records Act and Confidentiality of Medical Information Act.

Statutory and consumer class action claims

As a complement to privacy litigation, Spencer has extensive experience defending claims under privacy statutes such as the TCPA, FACTA, and the California Invasion of Privacy Act. This statutory litigation background combined with his privacy experience make Spencer well equipped to handle the matters filed under the California Consumer Privacy Act. He has also successfully defended a variety of businesses in false advertising, breach of contract, and fraud matters.

Business litigation

Spencer also still enjoys litigating a good, old-fashioned business-to-business dispute, whether representing a company on the plaintiff's side or defending a claim. Spencer has tried and won many such cases, including obtaining large damage awards and, more frequently, complete defense verdicts.
