Technology

Our clients operate in a fast-paced electronic landscape that is ever-changing—and is subsequently capable of posing more and more risk to you and your organization. The tech field poses complex and wide-ranging obstacles, from threats of data theft to HR concerns and far beyond. Every organization must be proactive in implementing proper policies to safeguard the rights of its employees and customers—and to ensure that privacy and security of critical information and data remain intact.

AALRR’s talented technology team has helped countless clients by informing them about their obligations under ever-changing laws and helping them discharge their obligations in the short time frames that those laws impose. Our experience in this field ranges as far and wide as the field itself: We’ve represented corporations and organizations in a diverse range of cases, from those involving the posting of defamatory information on social media to those involving unauthorized releases of confidential information—for example, workers’ compensation or payroll information—without consent to do so. Our numerous successes include cases that called for complex litigation against accusations of data theft, reaching a favorable settlement for a large general contractor to prevent use of illegally downloaded data, and defending a public entity against wrongful termination claims after a former employee had hacked into private accounts.

In addition to working directly with our clients in their tech cases, we also provide training and leadership throughout the State of California on tech-related issues—both through our annual EdLaw Tech and our Employment Law Conferences and through multiple presentations held throughout the year.

We work with school districts, national and international corporations, general contractors, social media companies, staffing agencies, and more on a wide range of matters, including e-discovery; social media, intranet, and websites; purchasing and contracting; crisis management; BYOD movement; First Amendment rights; identity theft monitoring; anti-SLAPP; trade secret misappropriation; computer crimes; investigations; and civil enforcement. Legal issues involving tech are serious and consequential. AALRR attorneys bring their depth of knowledge and expertise to every case they handle.
