Data Breach Litigation

Data breaches often result in complex civil litigation including class actions from affected customers, shareholder derivative suits, regulatory enforcement actions, contractual disputes with vendors, and claims involving insurance carriers. Organizations experiencing data breaches face legal exposure on multiple fronts, requiring litigation counsel with understanding of cybersecurity, digital evidence, and sophisticated civil litigation.

We also represent companies pursuing claims against vendors whose security failures contributed to incidents and against insurance carriers that deny cyber coverage.

Understanding the Legal and Technical Issues in Data Breach Cases

Data breach litigation involves issues that require both legal and technical analysis. These often include challenges to proof of damages, causation linking alleged harm to a specific breach, adequacy of security practices measured against industry standards, and evaluation of the timeliness and accuracy of breach notifications. These cases frequently involve extensive discovery of security systems, policies, incident response efforts, and internal communications and require counsel who can navigate complex cybersecurity evidence.
