He has also played an integral role on the lead counsel team in In re U.S. Office of Pers. Mgt. Data Security Breach Litig., 928 F.3d 42 (D.C. Cir. 2019), which settled for $63 million and provided substantial compensation to numerous federal government employees and job applicants whose highly sensitive personnel files were exposed in a 2015 data breach. In addition, he has successfully led several cases under the Video Privacy Protection Act and Telephone Consumer Protection Act.
