PRACTICE
Privacy-Breach & Wrongful Collection Liability
Overview
As data privacy laws evolve and consumer awareness matures, organizations are increasingly targeted by lawsuits following data breaches and other alleged mishandling of personal information. PierFerd’s Privacy - Breach & Wrongful Collection Liability Defense Practice defends businesses against these high-stakes claims—including both traditional data breach litigation and the rising wave of "wrongful collection" lawsuits.
Experience
We represent clients in all industry sectors facing individual and class action claims brought under state and federal privacy statutes, such as the CCPA, CPRA, BIPA, and other emerging frameworks. These cases often allege harm from unauthorized access, use, or collection of personal data—whether from a cyber incident or routine business practices.
With a deep bench of experienced commercial litigators and privacy attorneys, we develop tailored strategies that protect our clients' interests while mitigating reputational risk and financial exposure. We also work closely with insurers, privacy professionals, and technology experts to manage claims efficiently and comply with regulatory scrutiny.
As privacy litigation expands beyond breach response to challenge how companies collect and use data, we deliver clear, decisive defense strategies that help businesses stay protected—and stay ahead.
