David Piper, a partner at Stradley Ronon Stevens & Young's Long Beach, California, office who specializes in privacy and cybersecurity matters, spoke with The Recorder in a Q&A this week about the recent explosion in California privacy claims brought under the California Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA), how businesses can prepare for future privacy regulations, and where he thinks state and federal privacy laws are headed next.
