Federal Privacy Legislation: Within Reach After a Decade of Debate. If So, What Next?

Join a team of seasoned specialists, including partners Kristin Bryan and Beth Goldstein, as they discuss what is next in federal privacy legislation. While US lawmakers have considered comprehensive consumer privacy legislation for years, Congress could agree on legislation as soon as the end of this year or the beginning of next year. If enacted, the American Data Privacy and Protection Act (ADPPA) would be a game-changer for businesses as well as consumers.

In this masterclass, the panel will discuss:

• The current policy and political landscape in Congress and in state capitals
• The main provisions of the ADPPA
• Recent state legislative developments driving Congress to take action
• Limitations on the Federal Trade Commission’s power to regulate privacy in the absence of federal legislation
• Ongoing litigation and future litigation risks
• Sovereign versus corporate distinctions
