Dive Brief:<\/p>\n

Cybersecurity and data privacy concerns topped corporate dispute exposure risks across the energy, financial institutions, healthcare and technology sectors since the start of the year \u2013 \u201cfar outpacing earlier expectations,\u201d according to a survey by law firm Norton Rose Fulbright.
\nThose polled also noted increased litigation risk around artificial intelligence and employment issues but reported \u201cimprovements in litigation readiness.\u201d A total of 135 general counsel and in-house litigation leaders responded to the poll.
\nOf those surveyed, 39% cited increased federal dispute exposure and 44% reported more state-level exposure on employment and labor issues. \u201cThis reflects increased compliance complexity as California, New York and other states pass new employment-related requirements,\u201d per the report.<\/p>\n

Dive Insight:
\n\u201cWhat stands out is how quickly the litigation environment is evolving, especially around cybersecurity incidents, consumer claims and AI-related disputes,\u201d Steven Jansma, Norton Rose Fulbright\u2019s U.S. head of litigation and disputes, said in a statement. \u201cWe are seeing new approaches and a level of activity that is accelerating across industries. Even where federal enforcement has softened, states are often stepping in and pushing litigation forward.\u201d
\nNew York, for example, on June 2 passed a bill designed to limit \u201cghost job\u201d postings by fining companies that don\u2019t share hiring timelines.\u00a0
\nThose polled by Norton Rose Fulbright said cybersecurity and workforce issues also raise class-action lawsuit concerns. More than half named data or cybersecurity breaches as \u201ca likely trigger of such litigation,\u201d and 47% said workforce changes like layoffs could lead to lawsuits.\u00a0
\nThe report identified AI tools as \u201can emerging class action catalyst.\u201d Of those surveyed, 41% said product launches or AI-related deployments could be triggers for class-action lawsuits.
\nA bill proposed in Minnesota\u2019s state House of Representatives would require that employers provide a 90-day notice before deploying AI technology that could displace jobs as well as give employees an opportunity to upskill or reskill.
\nCompanies can also be liable for AI-assisted decisions, even if the technology used was purchased or licensed from a software vendor, a partner at Rimon Law recently wrote in an op-ed for HR Dive.<\/p>\n
