Litigation

Janie helps technology-driven companies and individuals develop strategies to navigate critical data governance challenges as they grow their business and innovate in increasingly regulated markets. She has a decade of experience defending complex class actions and has helped clients resolve disputes involving high-stakes matters related to privacy, cybersecurity, trade secrets, trademark, and a broad range of consumer protection claims. Janie has a proven track record of supporting successful outcomes for her clients in court, as well as in arbitration and government investigations.

Drawing on her significant experience litigating data security and intellectual property disputes, Janie regularly advises on mitigation of litigation risk and compliance with privacy laws, such as the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA)’s wiretapping provisions, state-based wiretapping statutes, the Stored Communications Act (SCA), California Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA), California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and state-based consumer protection statutes. Her counseling matters complement her litigation practice, equipping her with a nuanced understanding of each client’s strategic priorities and allowing her to deliver legal guidance that aligns with broader business objectives.

In addition to her work in data strategy and compliance, Janie maintains an active pro bono practice in immigration law and civil rights, including her work in asylum cases, reduction of federal criminal sentencing, excessive force claims, and reproductive rights.

Prior to joining Fenwick, Janie was an associate at an Am Law 100 firm where she represented clients in securities litigation, corporate governance, post-merger disputes, and white-collar investigations.
