Navigating investigations has become increasingly complex for organizations. Drivers include 
- a permanent shift to a hybrid work environment prompted by the Covid-19 pandemic
- the continued acceleration of new technologies and methods of communication within organizations, and 
- greater regulatory scrutiny, rules and fines across jurisdictions and sectors.
 
To navigate this complex landscape, organizations need to have sophisticated approaches underpinned by people, process and technology. They include ensuring that robust compliance frameworks are in place, centered around prevention, detection and response mechanisms, and, when investigations do arise, effectively balancing legal and practical considerations. These apply to areas such as preservation of evidence, privilege, external communications and working across jurisdictions.
 
During this 60-minute webinar, our expert speakers will review the investigations landscape's key drivers and trends, best practices in how organizations can anticipate and manage the investigations process, and the role that advanced technology and external providers play in supporting it.

Presenters:
Courtney Brod, Director, FTI Consulting
David Meadows, Senior Managing Director, FTI Consulting
Kathryn Wozny, Senior Counsel, Medtronic
Surya Saxena, Partner, Greene Espel

In the last year, the privacy litigation landscape has altered substantially, leading to an increase in data breach class actions across a broad spectrum of industries. This trend is now influencing the outcomes of judicial cases. For instance, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice recently confirmed that a hacked company is not an "intruder" within the meaning of the tort of intrusion upon seclusion. In light of this shifting litigation landscape, join us to find out how businesses protect their interests and continue to grow their digital footprint, and, what a company's response should be if the unthinkable happens.

Our panel will provide an overview of different perspectives, each aimed at risk mitigation and/or understanding the litigation framework:

  • Tips for preventative maintenance - steps you can take to limit litigation risk and damages before a breach occurs
  • Best practices to respond if a breach does occur (keeping in mind the inevitable litigation)
  • Test for class action certification
  • New privacy torts gaining ground across Canada

This program contains 1 hour of Professionalism content.
