On the administrationmostly neutral

Background

The firm grew out of Turke & Strauss LLP, which was based in Madison, Wisconsin, and built a class action practice that included Telephone Consumer Protection Act (robocall and text) cases. It rebranded as Strauss Borrelli PLLC and moved its headquarters to 980 N. Michigan Avenue in Chicago. The new name reflects Raina C. Borrelli becoming a named partner alongside founding attorney Samuel J. Strauss. Its practice centers on data breach, privacy (including Illinois biometric privacy), illegal telemarketing, employment and defective-product class actions. Its website runs a large 'Data Breach' blog with hundreds of posts, each announcing an investigation into a company that reported a breach and inviting affected people to contact the firm. These posts are written by a law firm to recruit clients, not independent reporting. They typically summarize public breach notices and do not give the other side's view. I could not find a founding date for the current firm, and I found no record of the site commenting on the Trump administration or on partisan politics. Its perspective is that of a plaintiffs' firm, favoring consumers who sue companies over data security failures.
