That's what this program will tackle. This program is designed to empower in-house legal teams with the knowledge and tools necessary to harness the transformative potential of AI both in their corporate legal departments and in their outside law firms.

Plaintiff’s attorneys have found a new growth area akin to the ADA website accessibility lawsuits that plagued companies for a number of years: website tracking technology-related claims. Plaintiff’s attorneys are surfing the internet and examining public websites for use of third-party cookies, pixels, tags, and other tracking technology that collects website visitor data. If they find tracking technology, and if the associated notices and disclosures are perceived to be inadequate, then plaintiff’s attorneys are suing the website owners for alleged violations of wiretapping statutes, invasion of privacy, and other claims. Many businesses hire third-party service providers to help manage their websites and are unaware of the presence of these features, which can lead to inadequate notices and disclosures that can result in lawsuits, sometimes with separate claims filed by multiple plaintiff’s attorneys. We will discuss this litigation trend and steps business can take to decrease the risk of becoming a target for a potential lawsuit.
During this roundtable, we will also discuss trends in data breach and ransomware incidents, which have continued to spike since the pandemic, and have evolved together with advances in technology. We will also discuss the associated increase in data breach-related litigation, including best practices when responding to a cyber-attack to reduce legal exposure.
Discussion Leaders:
Risa B. Boerner, CIPP/US, CIPM, Partner, Fisher Phillips

This will be a collaborative discussion on key areas of cross-disciplinary risk for ACC National Capitol Region in-house general counsel, employment and antitrust practitioners, and a valuable opportunity to get ahead of the curve. With Federal Trade Commission (FTC) enforcement priorities largely in the balance depending on this November’s election results, regardless of who wins, employers need to be prepared to manage the U.S. federal and state antitrust enforcement landscape that impacts the workforce in 2025.
Employment law and antitrust experts will cover the FTC’s recent labor-specific enforcement priorities, including wage fixing, anti-poaching, and employee mobility regulation, along with the latest updates and guidance concerning the FTC’s noncompete ban and its fate in the federal courts of appeal. We’ll also cover new topics, including the FTC’s prioritization of regulation of industry use of AI tools, with specific focus on AI tools for recruiting and hiring and the potential bias and collusion claims that could arise from such use. And, we’ll discuss a completely new form of tech that is fast becoming a reality in the modern workplace—neurotechnology—which makes it possible for employers to read and evaluate employees’ thoughts and emotions using brainwave monitoring and other neurological markers and which we expect will become an enforcement priority for the FTC and labor regulators in the coming years. In closing, we’ll discuss what the workforce/competition regulatory landscape might look like in 2025 depending on which party controls Washington after this November’s election.
Presented by: Jeremy Ben Merkelson and Gerald A. Stein, Partners at Davis Wright Tremaine LLP, and David Grossman, Vice President, Regulatory Affairs, Consumer Technology Association, and Katie Cole, Chief Legal Officer, PECF.
