Alison Grounds will be speaking during the "Parallel Civil Proceedings" session at the Government Investigations 2019: Investigations Arising From Data Breach and Privacy Concerns and Parallel Proceedings PLI program on February 1, 2019 in Nashville, TN. The session will cover topics such as the relationship, if any, between investigating agency and counsel for plaintiffs in a parallel proceeding and protections that are available for information produced in investigations. This program will explore the role of electronic information through a hypothetical breach of a corporation’s information that leads to an investigation. It will focus on the “what, why and how” an investigation is conducted – from the viewpoint of the investigating agencies and of the corporate representatives charged with responding to the investigation. The program will then consider a hypothetical class action that parallels the investigation and how that parallel litigation interacts with the investigation.
