Gilbert + Tobin
Overview (Program Summary)
A program hosted by:
ACC AustraliaData breaches are now a key risk for all Australian businesses. Australia’s data breach regulatory regime is unique as is its continuous disclosure and class action environment. This combination poses distinctive and developing challenges for companies and boards in preparing for, and managing, these issues as they arise.
This webinar, presented by Gilbert + Tobin’s Corporate Advisory and Intellectual Property teams, will explore:
- the data breach regime and how it intersects with directors’ duties, the current continuous disclosure obligations and regulatory and class action risk;
- recent high-profile cases; and
- how this might be impacted by law reform proposals to introduce a permanent knowledge element for civil liability for breaches of the continuous disclosure regime.
