LITIGATION: In January, Eisner Jaffe added a group of four litigation attorneys led by James Turken from the former Dickstein Shapiro Los Angeles office.

SUPREME COURT: Mayer Brown partner John Nadolenco represents Pasadena-based Spokeo in a U.S. Supreme Court case that involves a data broker who published inaccurate information about a man’s personal and professional life. The case is important because it will affect how and when people can sue companies that violate various laws about data and consumer protection.
