Career
Susan Fahringer litigates privacy class-action and complex commercial cases, with a focus on those involving consumer personally identifiable information, biometric data, and artificial intelligence. Susan serves as lead counsel defending class-action claims under the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA), the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), the Stored Communications Act (SCA), unfair competition laws, and other privacy and commercial claims. Her extensive litigation experience has given her valuable insight into litigation risk, and she frequently counsels clients on how to assess, triage, and reduce that risk, particularly in connection with consumer privacy and related claims.
Susan co-leads the firm's Biometric Law and Privacy Class Action Defense practices. She has served on the firm's Management and Executive committees and as co-chair of both the Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning & Robotics industry group and the Intellectual Property Litigation practice.
