Reducing Litigation and Liability Risk: Class Actions and Executive Accountability Cases

ACG-NJ Data Privacy and Security Leaders Roundtable

February 11, 2025

Litigation risk and potential liability arising out of your company's ongoing privacy and security practices are continually increasing. The recent flood of cases filed across the country confirms that all companies - large and small, public and private – are facing a range of potential litigation and liability threats, including:

• Class actions arising out of a data security incident
• Liability under state wiretap statutes based on website and data collection practices
• Executive liability for alleged privacy and security compliance shortfalls

Join us for our next Roundtable discussion, which will focus on recent litigation trends – and potential defense strategies – for claims alleging (i) individual damages from a security incident, (ii) wiretap violations under the California Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA) and the Massachusetts Wiretap Act, and (iii) executive liability for privacy or security failures.
