Cybersecurity and AI threats are intensifying corporate litigation exposure across key US industries in 2026, new Norton Rose Fulbright survey finds

▤ Summary

Norton Rose Fulbright’s midyear survey shows that litigation exposure around cybersecurity, data privacy, and AI has increased sharply across energy, financial services, healthcare, and technology. In-house legal teams now see breaches, workforce changes, and AI deployments as major triggers for class actions and regulatory disputes. Technology respondents report the highest overall rise in litigation risk, especially around privacy, discrimination, and intellectual property issues tied to AI use. The survey also shows that legal teams have improved budget control and cross-functional coordination, even as compliance complexity remains high.
