Ryan Garippo is a member of the Class Action Defense Team with a focus on class action litigation, employment disputes, and complex commercial litigation. Mr. Garippo is a member of the Illinois and Michigan bars, and has appeared on behalf of clients in federal and state courts across the nation. He has also represented clients throughout all phases of the litigation process, including trial and appeal, and prides himself on being a tireless advocate for the client's strategic and business objectives.

Mr. Garippo focuses a significant portion of his practice on high-stakes privacy class actions. He understands the challenges that companies face in abiding with consumer protection laws in an increasingly digital world and is committed to providing clients with a vigorous defense when they are accused of wrongdoing. He has experience litigating class actions under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (“TCPA”), including for alleged violations of the statute’s prohibitions on the use of artificial or prerecorded voice messages, national and internal do-not-call registry claims, caller identification claims, “quiet hours” claims, state law “mini-TCPA” claims, and more. He also has experience defending claims under the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (“ECPA”); Video Privacy Protection Act (“VPPA”); Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (“BIPA”); Illinois Genetic Information Privacy Act (“GIPA”); and various other federal and state law causes of action.  He also frequently represents companies in data breach class actions brought throughout the country.

Mr. Garippo also regularly defends companies involved in complex wage & hour class and collective actions. He has significant experience defending clients in lawsuits brought under the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”), and its state law counterparts. He prides himself on his ability to design unique strategic defenses and craft complex procedural solutions when clients are facing bet-the-company liability. 

Mr. Garippo is interested in the developing intersection between emerging technologies and the law, particularly constitutional law, and often publishes on the subject. He is almost always working on a new publication, whether it be a blog post, or a full-length law review article.

Mr. Garippo is a graduate of Notre Dame Law School (J.D., cum laude, 2022), where he was the Managing Editor for the Notre Dame Journal on Emerging Technologies, and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (B.A., summa cum laude, 2019).
