In an increasingly complex environment, it is more important than ever to have a comprehensive privacy program to gather, use, disclose and manage data. While no two plans at corporations will ever be the same, this session will look at how legal, IT and other in-house partners should collaborate to implement initiatives that protect the company with sound protocols and practices.

Snapshots are micro presentations -- 5-10 minutes on a company's legal profile with a best practice or lesson learned to share with the group.

Our panelists have undertaken initiatives to conduct internal audits of their corporations to study how much time is actually spent on different types of legal work. With this data, they put defined values on the work and the resources spent accomplishing it, and can now better manage what to outsource and insource.

Now that GDPR has been in effect for months, what’s next? California and Brazil have recently enacted new consumer privacy laws that are similar to the GDPR in many respects. Does that signal that a wave of similar regulations will quickly spread throughout the U.S. and South America? If your company has implemented programs to comply with GDPR, are you protected under the California Consumer Privacy Act (the “CCPA”) and Brazil’s General Data Privacy Law (the “LGPD”)? This session will discuss the CCPA and the LGPD and the changes in the data privacy regulatory landscape.

An update on successes and challenges regarding Microsoft Office 365 implementation, new modules and tools, and how the platform is interacting with the discovery process and other areas Legal touches.

A highly requested and invaluable session, Todd will provide an updated version of his entertaining and engaging presentation. Attorney-client privilege seems simple in the abstract—it protects from disclosure a client’s conversations with her lawyer. But the privilege is anything but simple when applied to corporate entities. Varying jurisdictional standards, subsidiaries and affiliates, Upjohn warnings, consultants, and waiver are just a few of the privilege issues that arise when employees communicate with corporate attorneys. And courts apply a higher privilege standard to in-house lawyers’ communications with corporate representatives. This presentation discusses the privilege challenges and pitfalls facing outside and in-house lawyers on a daily basis.
