In our overwhelmingly digital world, the ability to capture and analyse ever-increasing volumes of data creates new opportunities, but also creates new risks. Privacy, intellectual property, security and related concerns need to be addressed by a clear data governance strategy. A key aspect of a successful data governance strategy is effective contracting.
In this session, Adrian and Liz will discuss data-related risks and issues, and provide a range of suggestions for how to address these issues in your contracts, including in relation to the following:
- interaction of confidentiality, IP and security regimes and their application to data;
- allocation of responsibility for legal obligations arising in relation to data;
- exclusions and limitations of liability for data loss; and
- provisions regulating handling of data at the end of the engagement.
