Pryor Cashman Partner Seth H. Lieberman, Chair of the Bankruptcy, Reorganization + Creditors' Rights Group and Co-Chair of the Corporate Trust Practice, was quoted in Bloomberg Law's article, "Spirit Data Sale to Google Shows Gaps in Employee Protections," which examines the legal and privacy issues surrounding the proposed sale of Spirit Airlines' business data to Google as part of the airline's bankruptcy proceedings.

The article explores concerns raised by the Association of Flight Attendants (AFA) regarding the transfer of a substantial repository of deidentified company records, including emails, Microsoft Teams communications, payroll information, training records, and other employee-related data that Google intends to use to enhance its AI products.

Discussing the significance of the dispute, Seth observed:

"The hearing was pushed back three weeks, indicating the gravity of the dispute."

The article highlights how the case may test the limits of existing bankruptcy and privacy frameworks as the market for real-world business data continues to expand alongside advances in artificial intelligence.
