Key Challenges and Practical Solutions for Privacy Litigation with Cross-border Implications
Monday, June 27, 2022: 11:00am-12:15pm EST

Regulators are not the only parties becoming increasingly active in strongly enforcing privacy violations with significant fines. The private enforcement of rights, including damage claims, is also on the rise. This panel will lead a dialogue on how companies can mitigate the risk of privacy-related litigation from regulators, individuals and/or organizations claiming individual rights, and how to best defend against such claims should litigation become unavoidable.

The panel will lead a dialogue on practical solutions for multinationals facing the unique challenges of global cyber threats, both in terms of preparation and response.
