Winston & Strawn LLP represents classes of professional swimmers that have filed a class action lawsuit against World Aquatics (formerly Fédération Internationale de Natation). Shields et al v. Federation Internationale De Natation, Case No. 3:18-cv-07393-JSC. The plaintiffs allege that World Aquatics violated federal antitrust law by organizing a group boycott against a competing swimming league, the International Swimming League (“ISL”), which prevented ISL from holding professional swimming competitions in 2018 and 2019. The plaintiffs allege that affected swimmers collectively would have earned millions of dollars in appearances fees and prize money at those events had they taken place. The plaintiffs are also seeking injunctive relief to prevent the Defendant World Aquatics from interfering in the future with swimmers’ ability to earn compensation by participating in professional swimming competitions, including those held by swimming leagues that are not sanctioned by World Aquatics. World Aquatics denies that it violated any law, denies that it organized an unlawful group boycott and denies that it prevented swimmers from participating in swimming competitions hosted by ISL in 2018 and 2019.

Law Glossary
Mobile privacy law is a complex legal area involving consumers, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), cell phone service providers, and the government. Since cell phone service providers have access to phone records, they are required to keep this information private in most cases, though federal agencies can access device records with a subpoena. Phone providers can only share mobile tracking location information to third parties for 911 emergency calls, unless device owners have consented to sharing this data. Consumers must contact their mobile device service providers directly to determine how their information is shared. These providers commonly offer mobile privacy policies and allow their customers to opt out of sharing their data. Mobile device manufacturers also offer device settings to limit tracking.
