Lawyers are increasingly using social networking sites like Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter for marketing and other purposes including gathering information about parties and witnesses in a case. In addition, sites like Legal OnRamp and Martindale-Hubbell Connected are specifically designed to facilitate communication between in-house and outside counsel. Many commentators believe that the use of social media is going to transform the practice of law much like email did years ago.

Many businesses, especially those not in ‘technology’ industries, do not have significant IP assets and the in-house counsel may not live or breath IP issues. But that’s no reason to ignore fundamental practices that can help the business capture or protect the value of its trademarks, trade secrets, patentable innovations, web presence and other IP assets. Or, perhaps more importantly, practices can protect the business from exposure to the IP claims of others. What questions should you be asking to evaluate and improve the business’s IP sophistication?

Panelists at this session will outline and discuss new internet and privacy regulatory requirements, both state and local, and legal developments (case law), including recent state and federal regulations and court decisions.

Records management is not new. Litigation, efficiency and competitive edge drive organizations to manage and capitalize on information. With rapid technology changes and the increasing volume and complexity of information, management is difficult. But new problems call for new answers. Globalization changes the landscape — a global company is not a bigger, more spread out US company — it is a different organization altogether and requires different solutions.

This PowerPoint presentation, which accompanied an ACC Europe Chapter webcast, begins with a Facebook-related hypothetical situation, and discusses the dangers of social media in the workplace, online bullying and harassment, and French and German statutory approaches to the issue.

This panel will focus on what all in-house counsel covering technology-related transactions should know about the growing nexus between technology and the environment. Currently, the world is in Green IT 1.0. The focus is on conserving energy and reducing heat in power-hungry data centers and protecting the environment with proper equipment disposal procedures. The panel will review what to ask for when negotiating data center agreements, outsourcing and equipment disposal arrangements.

We probably remember grandma's rotary phone that’s now considered an antique. Moving into the 21st century, your company is most likely using or planning to use voice over IP, or VOIP technology. This cost-saving version of the telephone presents exciting technological possibilities, yet poses serious global regulatory pitfalls for the unwary. This panel is directed at the essential strategies, tips and traps that in-house counsel –– at both current and future VOIP-enabled customers, service providers and technology licensors should know.

If your company is doing business outside the United States, you need to attend this session to be brought up-to-date on all applicable privacy laws. Many global organizations have had to change the way they handle personal information and privacy issues. Personal data that used to be considered public and obvious has since become a sensitive issue, both from a legal and PR perspective, and applicable laws are now being enforced with more rigor.

E-rulemaking illustrates how administrative practice is changing in the Information Age and how corporate counsel can take advantage of new agency electronic resources to significantly reduce outside legal costs. Over the past few years, the federal government has made great progress placing the federal regulatory process online.
