The technology industry is the fastest growing component of the American and global economy. Technology products have transformed the way we live and work. The evolution of these products at breakneck speed has led to an explosion of investment activity and sky-high stock market valuations for technology companies. But this dynamism and exponential growth is not without its challenges. Each new development or evolution in technology raises a host of unanswered questions on the business and legal fronts. Current legal disputes and emerging gray areas span a wide spectrum of matters from novel and pressing issues related to data privacy and security, rapid changes in the nature and treatment of intellectual property, the application of competition laws, jurisdictional complications over taxation and regulation, and labor standards in the new economy, among many others.
