Managing Litigation Files – Tips for In-house Counsel
Litigation and litigation management is one of the three most challenging areas of law for corporate counsel and their legal departments. But how do you understand what “litigation management” really means? Topics include managing the expectations and involvement of corporate officers, employees, insurers and external counsel; marshalling instructions, evidence and witnesses; e-discovery; insuring consistency of strategy and approach in multi-jurisdictional litigation.
Ten Privacy Nightmares and How to Prevent Them
Privacy breaches can take many forms, and can damage a company’s reputation and put confidential information at risk. With multiple laws, jurisdictions, technologies and business models converging and evolving, it’s hard to know if you and your company are doing everything you can to meet the legal and practical challenges associated with handling private data. Dean will share best practices for minimizing liability for disclosure of confidential information and responding to data breaches.
Privacy Law and Compliance for Corporate Counsel
Newer corporate counsel often have little exposure to privacy matters before moving in-house but according to CCCA members they are frequently assigned responsibility for privacy compliance along with their other duties. To avoid critical errors when it comes to the privacy rights of your clients, customers and employees, attend this session and find out how to comply with the law and protect your company.
