Practice Highlights
Data breach litigation
Statutory and consumer class action claims
As a complement to privacy litigation, Spencer has extensive experience defending claims under privacy statutes such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), Confidentiality of Medical Information Act (CMIA), California Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA), Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA), Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA), and Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA), among others. Plaintiffs' attorneys have increasingly sought to leverage claims under these statutes to force settlement through the threat of protracted litigation in class action or mass arbitration matters, and/or based on the availability of statutory damages. Defending against these claims requires a deliberate and tailored strategy for each individual client.
