Austin has a nationwide practice focused on complex litigation including data breach and privacy litigation, consumer class actions, and sexual assault liability. Austin has represented consumers in many of the nation’s largest data breach class actions, including lawsuits against Target, the Home Depot, Anthem Insurance, Equifax, and Marriott. Austin recently helped achieve preliminary approval of the historic Equifax data breach settlement that includes up to $ million in cash benefits and served as class counsel in an “outstanding” $3.25 million settlement on behalf of optometrists who were subject to a breach by the national optometry board.

Austin also represents small businesses involved in business disputes, personal injury victims in catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases, and victims of sexual assault in civil cases against their perpetrators and other negligent parties. Austin’s recent cases include representing a young woman against ridesharing giant Uber after she was sexually assaulted by her driver, representing an underage female employee against her employer after she was sexually assaulted by her manager on premises, and representing victims of sexual abuse in nursing homes and assisted living facilities.
