Increasing globalization has meant that U.S. litigation teams have to contend not only with jurisdictional challenges, but also with foreign privacy laws. These restrictions often go beyond typical Personal Identifiable Information (PII), such as social security and account numbers, to broadly encompass basic identifying information, such as names and email addresses.
