Litigation Lunchbreak – How to stay ahead of the curve in privacy litigation: Introducing our new series on platform and privacy litigation

We are excited to introduce our new series 'Litigation – Lunchbreak’ on platform and privacy litigation. 

As the European digital regulations become more influential and complex, companies and digital platforms face increasing litigation risks. These risks pertain to both private and public enforcement spheres. No matter what industry your company operates in, it's important to be aware of potential legal disputes that may arise from:

  • actions for disclosure of information;
  • (mass) litigations for claims for damages following a violation of the GDPR;
  • deletion requests against websites and platforms; or
  • fine proceedings due to a breach of a European regulation.

Our 'Litigation – Lunchbreak' series will help you stay informed and prepared, with practical tips and strategies that you can apply to your business. Every Wednesday at lunchtime, we will share our knowledge and expertise with you in a bite-sized post on a current issue or development in European and German platform and privacy litigation. 

We will inform you on topics such as: 

  • Recent Case Law: How do recent judgments affect your business and what can you do to adapt?
  • Regulatory Developments: What are the latest legislative and policy initiatives at national and international levels and do they increase your company’s litigation risk? 
  • Technological Developments: How do emerging technologies and innovations impact platform and privacy litigation and create new litigation risks for companies all over the world?
  • Insights: What are the best practices and pitfalls to avoid in platform and privacy litigation, based on our real-life cases and scenarios?

Next Wednesday, we kick off our series with a post focused on GDPR mass litigation, a topic that is becoming increasingly a relevant risk for companies in the digital age. 

Don't miss any of our posts by subscribing to our authors and following the 'Litigation – Lunchbreak' series.
