Privacy litigation task force

San Diego-based Foley & Lardner, recently ranked among the top 10 Best Privacy Advisers in 2008 by Computerworld, has established a Privacy Litigation Task Force to help its clients address the growing threat of privacy-related litigation. "Being able to provide these unique services is extremely important as more companies are faced with privacy and information security incidents," said Andrew Serwin, co-chair of the task force. Other team members include Eileen Ridley, Michael Tuteur.

The team will assist clients in addressing litigation arising from security breaches; improper exporting and disclosure of information; improper delivery of commercial e-mails; violation of state medical privacy laws, and other matters related to the disclosure of e-mails and personally identifiable health and financial information.
