The Labaton Keller Sucharow team that secured a historic jury verdict in a landmark data privacy case against Meta Platforms Inc. have been named The Am Law Litigation Daily’s Litigator of the Week Runners-Up.
Serving as co-counsel for the plaintiffs, the high-profile case alleged Meta knowingly recorded and exploited sensitive women’s health data through the Flo Health app, a menstrual period and pregnancy tracking app.
Throughout the two-week trial, held in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, Labaton’s team brought forward the powerful testimonies of five women whose personal health data had been exploited by the app. On August 1, 2025, the jurors found Meta liable for its role in the unauthorized collection and commercial use of highly personal health data, which was used to strengthen Meta’s advertising business.
This groundbreaking verdict stands as one of the first times a jury has ever held a major technology company accountable for its handling of consumer health information, sending an important message about data privacy and the responsibilities of Big Tech in the digital age and underscoring the Firm’s unwavering commitment to pursuing cases that safeguard individual rights.
The winning trial team was led by Partners Carol C. Villegas and Michael P. Canty, and included Partners Jake Bissell-Linsk and Thomas G. Hoffman, Jr., Associates Danielle Izzo, Gloria J. Medina, and David Saldamando, and Nathan Donlon, Keri M. Judd, and Vivienne Vibar.
