Privacy + Security Forum 2025 Spring Academy

Greenberg Traurig is a sponsor of the Privacy + Security Forum 2025 Spring Academy May 7-9 in Washington, D.C. The conference will break down the silos of privacy and security and bring together seasoned thought leaders hosting panels and workshops designed to deliver practical takeaways for all conference participants. On May 9 from 10:10 am - 11:10 am ET, Greenberg Traurig Shareholder Ian C. Ballon, co-chair of the Global Intellectual Property & Technology Group, will present the session “New Strategies for NexGen Data Breach & Privacy Class Actions & Mass Arbitrations". This panel will outline both the latest law and trends and the strategies that companies must employ to successfully defend the perfect storm of putative class action suits and mass arbitrations. Topics covered, based on real world examples, will include whether and how to enforce arbitration provisions, how to revise arbitration clauses and online and mobile contract formation processes and procedures to account for the new threats posed, venue, MDL, initial motion practice, class certification and settlement strategies. This panel will also address both troll claims and serious multidistrict litigation occurring in tandem with mass arbitration.
