ECPA in Focus

Much of the attention around electronic privacy litigation remains concentrated on HIPAA-related claims, but this focus captures only part of the picture. The Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) surfaces in a range of sectors, including financial institutions. As these cases emerge, they bring unique challenges, including arbitration clauses and well-resourced defendants, making it critical to understand not only where opportunities exist, but how to effectively navigate the barriers that come with pursuing them.
