Forget soap operas: The U.S. and privacy are shaping up to be the ultimate will-they-or-won’t-they story. A new survey from e-discovery and managed review provider Consilio showed that a large number of legal professionals were holding out hope that a federal privacy regulation could be passed in 2020.

The survey is comprised of 120 respondents, including legal professionals working inside law firms, corporations and government-affiliated entities. Consilio collected the responses in early February during the Legalweek New York conference, prior to the COVID-19 related business shutdowns and social distancing measures that were implemented across the country the following month.
