Quinn Emanuel Partner and Co-Chair of the firm's Data Privacy and Security Practice, Stephen Broome, and Associate Destiny Rose Murphy have co-authored the Law360 article, “Generic State Privacy Laws May Facilitate BIPA-Like Claims.” This expert analysis discusses Illinois' Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) and the expansion of BIPA-like claims into other states via new plaintiffs’ arguments under already existing privacy and business competition laws. Until now, BIPA claims have only affected Illinois plaintiffs, but with up-and-coming multi-district litigation, and a California state law case that may recognize BIPA-like rights under the state’s constitution, business leaders need to prepare themselves now for a new front in biometric privacy litigation.
