The largest law firm in California (Morrison & Foerster) with more than 1,000 lawyers in 18 offices internationally, has filed suit against an email marketing company (Etracks) claiming it has bombarded it with thousands of unsolicited email advertisements.
The law firm has asked the court to stop Etracks from sending further unsolicited emails. It is also seeking additional relief, which includes attorneys' fees and damages of $50 for each email delivered in violation of the law, up to $25,000 per day.
