NEW DAWN FOR DATA PRIVACY – Happy New Year! Oh, and more importantly, happy belated CCPA Day!

BIG LAW AND BIAS - Unfortunately, 2019 was a big year for exposing Big Law as having a gender bias problem. As the year drew to a close, Dan Packel looked back at the lawsuits that unfolded across the country against a number of large firms. Chief among the litigation targets last year was Jones Day, which was hit with a $200 million putative class action alleging the firm’s “black box” compensation model, leadership structure and culture serve to systematically deny women equal pay and opportunity for advancement. The firm was also accused in a separate lawsuit of discriminating against fathers by providing them eight fewer weeks of parental leave.
COURT REPORT – Ask anyone for the three names that come to mind when they think of New Year’s Eve and you’re sure to get the same response across the board: Dick Clark. Ryan Seacrest.
