Troutman Pepper is proud to sponsor the Government Investigations & Civil Litigation Institute’s Tenth Annual Meeting in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Ashley Taylor will be moderating the “What Are the Elements of a State Attorney General Offensive and Defensive Strategy?” session and Sadia Mirza will be a panelist on the “Regulatory and Litigation Response Following a Privacy Breach. Immediate Aftermath: Managing the Expanding Regulatory Requirements and Litigation Outcomes for Incident Response” session.

“What Are the Elements of a State Attorney General Offensive and Defensive Strategy?”

Our panel will discuss offensive and defensive strategies that companies in heavily regulated sectors can use during matters involving State Attorneys General (AGs). Our panelists will explore proactive engagement with AGs, including participation in AG meetings, identifying thought leaders, and effectively communicating business models and compliance efforts; will discuss defensive strategies, such as identifying how to secure quick wins and when to encourage multistate formation; and tactics for unearthing AGs’ goals, the optimal timing for meetings with staff, and how to effectively use FOIA requests. The panel also will analyze how changes within AG offices can influence the direction and pace of an investigation or litigation.

“Regulatory and Litigation Response Following a Privacy Breach. Immediate Aftermath: Managing the Expanding Regulatory Requirements and Litigation Outcomes for Incident Response”

Corporations must balance competing and often conflicting interests in the immediate aftermath of a security incident or privacy breach. Increasingly, regulatory requirements contracts provide for immediate disclosure of material facts or notification to impacted parties. What are the options for navigating this regulatory landscape while protecting personal and confidential data, and for balancing regulatory disclosures with litigation risk arising from potential follow-on class proceedings and other litigation.
