When something becomes a trend, like scads of people lining up to join class actions over perceived violations of privacy online, you can bet someone’s going to throw a lot of lawyers at it. Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, which has 1,000 lawyers in 17 offices worldwide, has done just that. Earlier this week, the firm announced the formation of its new, 54-attorney Information Technology and Data Privacy Practice Group.

“We have been seeing increased demand from clients for this kind of specialized, coordinated service, bringing expertise together in a focused way on the technology challenges our clients are seeing in this day and age,” New York-based Gibson Dunn partner Alexander H. Southwell, one of four co-chairs of the new group, told LTN. “It really covers a wide range of issues. It’s not the kind of practice that’s focused just on litigation.”
