Anyone who has come in contact with cross-regional data privacy issues understands the complex challenges faced by in-house counsel and the relevant stakeholders when addressing these concerns on behalf of companies, both for internally and externally- produced information.

Can the information be accessed in order to gain information for litigation? What ethical challenges should lawyers worry about with regard to social networking sites?

It’s no secret that technology has encroached upon the legal realm and how lawyers do business. But did you know that keeping up with new technology has become an ethical issue?

If your company makes use of or develops free or open source software, this session is for you. Our technology counsel will provide an overview of what FOSS is, legal issues concerning such software (including litigation), patents, different licenses, warranties, and indemnification involved, where and how FOSS is generally used, and risks and benefits involved with licensing and using these types of software, including pollution.

Many large technology procurements fall short of being either on time or on budget, usually because no one was willing to do the heavy lifting at the front end. What issues do you need to watch for and what steps does your client need to take to prevent your project from being sucked into another IT black hole? In addition to a first-class package of program materials, in-house generalists especially will benefit from a role play segment in which we will demonstrate ways to effectively address the key issues essential to an outcome that is good for both parties.
