Privacy Litigation in the USA
October 2008
Andrew Serwin
Partner

Roughly, what percentage of litigation comes from the FTC and other federal regulators, state attorney generals and private plaintiffs?
In the past, a much larger percentage was enforcement actions brought by state and federal regulators. Now we are seeing an increase in consumer class actions and as a percentage I think consumer class actions are the majority, or soon will be.
Other topics of interest in this interview include:
- The liabilities for invasion of privacy
