We are at the forefront of litigation regarding Artificial Intelligence and are leveraging our expertise to address emerging harms. Lieff Cabraser has a proven track record of successfully taking-on the powerhouses of Big Tech across multiple practice areas, including data privacy, mass torts/personal injury, and copyright. Recent examples include:

• Partner Lexi J. Hazam serves as Co-Lead Counsel for plaintiffs in the nationwide litigation against major social media platforms including Facebook/Instagram (owned by Meta), TikTok, Snapchat, and YouTube (owned by Google), alleging the platforms cause addiction and mental health problems in adolescents, including body image issues, anxiety, suicidality, depression, and eating disorders.
  • As detailed in the Amended Master Complaint, “[t]his lawsuit follows on a growing body of scientific research, including Defendants’ own internal (previously concealed) studies, that draws a direct line between Defendants’ conscious, intentional design choices and the youth mental health crisis gripping our nation.”
  • Leaders in Big Tech have themselves “cautioned that artificial intelligence risks mirroring the societal pitfalls of social media if developers don’t prioritize responsibility over rapid deployment.”
• Partner Rachel Geman serves as Co-Lead Class Counsel in multiple cases against leading AI companies on behalf of authors and rightsholders whose intellectual property was taken and used by these companies without fair compensation.
• Lawyers in Lieff Cabraser’s privacy group serve as Class Counsel in a class action against Oracle Inc., one of the world’s largest data brokers. Plaintiffs allege that Oracle surveilled consumers online and offline, compiled their personal data into detailed profiles—including geolocation, finances, demographics, interests, and health—and then sold those profiles to third parties.

Lieff Cabraser has litigated to protect and advance the rights of internet users, especially child and young adult internet users, for decades, including in cases aimed at curtailing the illegal and deceptive acquisition and monetization of young user’s deeply private and personal identity and location information as well as cases seeking to eradicate sex trafficking and related degradations across multiple social media platforms. Our civil rights and privacy cases have led to judgments and settlements for our clients valued at over $8 billion as well as significant and enduring changes to law and corporate policy for the benefit of all.
