Client Alert: Regulatory Enforcement of State Consumer Privacy Laws.   In recent years, a wave of consumer privacy laws has swept across many states. Unlike traditional legal areas where case law refines statutory provisions, most of these privacy statutes lack a private right of action, and are enforceable only by state Attorneys General or specialized enforcement agencies, such as California’s dedicated regulatory body.   Although public enforcement has been relatively restrained thus far, recent developments indicate a shift. Notably, California has led the way with significant settlements, including cases involving Sephora (2022), Google (2023), and DoorDash (early 2024). Even more recently, in September and October 2024, the Attorneys General from 16 states, including Texas and Indiana, launched or resumed actions against TikTok, focusing on protecting minors’ privacy on the platform. And in addition to formal enforcement, many state Attorneys General have made announcements and other public statements indicating their highest enforcement priorities and areas of interest. As this area of law continues to evolve, early enforcement activity and these other indications of emerging regulatory priorities can, and should, inform risk assessment and strategy for companies navigating this complex and rapidly evolving landscape.   Click here to read: https://lnkd.in/gwVTV_Ep Click here to learn more about our Data Privacy & Security practice: https://lnkd.in/erQ3VrnA Authors: Tom Nolan, Alexandria Madjeric, Miranda Roberts Hulka

In our latest Client Alert, Quinn Emanuel Partner James Tecce and Of Counsel Bennett Murphy discuss two recent Delaware opinions interpreting the covenant of good faith and fair dealing in lender liability cases. In one of the decisions, the Court determined that applicable state law did not provide an independent cause of action for breach of the implied covenant. In another, the court held that lender actions expressly authorized under a loan agreement cannot be the basis for an implied covenant claim. James and Bennett also describe how the application of the covenant in lender liability cases has evolved in the forty years since the seminal 6th Circuit case of K.M.C. v. Irving Trust.   Read the full Client Alert here: https://lnkd.in/epQS4FkY   Find out more about our Lender Liability & Other Banking Financial Institution Litigation practice here: https://lnkd.in/e55e4MfN   #QuinnEmanuel #LearnfromtheBest

The staff and attorneys in our #Berlin office have this year chosen to support both the Berliner Kältehilfe charity, which provides overnight accommodation to the city’s homeless during the winter months.   For many years our #Hamburg office has donated to local children’s hospice Kinder-Hospiz Sternenbrücke, which provides end of life care for terminally ill children and young people, as well as support for their families. They are proud to do so again this year.   Supporting the Drogenverein Mannheim e.V. – a local charity that helps those struggling with substance abuse and their families - has for many years been the privilege of the staff and attorneys of our #Mannheim office during the Christmas season. This year was no different and they were able to fulfill the Christmas present wishes of over 60 children.   In #Munich, our staff and attorneys have donated over 150 vouchers for entrance to the zoo, Sealife, the movies, and various other activities to the children being cared for at the Münchner Waisenhaus (Munich Orphanage).   Our #Stuttgart office once again worked together with local charity “Frauen Helfen Helfen e.V.” to grant wishes to children and teenagers in children’s homes and other social facilities in Stuttgart.   Quinn Emanuel has a longstanding commitment to supporting meaningful causes around the world. Our German teams sincerely hope that through these donations, some joy can be brought at what can be a difficult time of year.    #QuinnEmanuel #CharityAction #NoFirmLikeOurs
