12:00 pm - 1:00 pm ESTThis session equips defense counsel to rapidly assess an incoming website-tracking privacy class action and decide whether to commit to an aggressive dismissal posture. Attorneys will learn to identify which statute is invoked, classify the data allegedly collected, evaluate standing vulnerabilities under circuit authority, analyze technical architecture for key defense arguments, and audit consent mechanisms — all before filing a single motion. Attendees will leave with a repeatable triage framework applicable to CIPA, VPPA, and ECPA claims, calibrated to a landscape that shifted materially in 2026.
Baldassare VintiJeff H. WarshafskyAaron M. Francis 1:10 pm - 2:10 pm ESTThis session teaches defense counsel how to construct and sequence dispositive motions in websitetracking privacy class actions, from Rule 12(b)(1) standing attacks through summary judgment on statutory interpretation grounds. Attendees will learn specific doctrinal arguments that have produced dismissals: Article III injury-in-fact, the party exception, consent layering, and the CIPA ‘in transit’ rule. Attorneys will leave with a motion-drafting framework, a contemporary case toolkit, and a clear map of where courts are drawing the line between claims that survive and claims that do not.
