Why it matters

Sophie Mancall-Bitel, a litigation partner at Mayer Brown, has been named a 2026 Rising Star by Law360 Pulse for her defense of major technology companies in privacy and wiretapping class actions. Her clients include TikTok, Google, and YouTube. Mancall-Bitel's practice centers on internet and technology companies defending claims under the federal Wiretap Act, the California Invasion of Privacy Act, the Video Privacy Protection Act, and biometric privacy statutes. She has handled wiretapping litigation and internet data privacy matters for tech and financial-services clients.

The recognition reflects the scale of privacy litigation facing digital platforms. Tech companies face an ongoing wave of class actions alleging unlawful tracking, data capture, and interception of online activity. Mayer Brown has also represented clients in broader tech disputes, including TikTok's litigation over federal divestiture and ban legislation.

For practitioners in this space, Mancall-Bitel's profile signals the centrality of privacy and wiretapping defense to large platform litigation. The volume and complexity of these cases—driven by new statutes, adverse rulings, and aggressive class-action filings—continue to create demand for specialized counsel. Attorneys handling consumer privacy disputes should track how courts are treating wiretap claims and state biometric privacy laws, where litigation strategy remains unsettled.
