A presentation which covers the important information you need to know about keeping personal information 'in the cloud'.

What is the current state of records management for most companies? What “best practice” trends are evident in those companies with an advanced records management maturity model? Panelists of this program will present an in-depth study of more than 3,500 participants that provides insight into how other organizations are doing when it comes to compliance.

This program will provide an overview of critical international, federal and state laws governing your collection, use, and disclosure of private information, whether it’s from customers, other businesses, or your employees. Learn the types of privacy policies you should have in place, the nuts and bolts of building a privacy program, and what you should do in the event of different types of security or data breach.

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?

This material focuses on the relevant legislation that you need to know to protect the privacy of your company and those who deal with your company. Includes M&A transactions, Cross-border data flow, contracts, breach notification and employee personal information.

If your coverage area touches on personal information or privacy-related
issues, you cannot afford to miss this update on the latest privacy law
issues in America. Privacy and data protection laws and regulations at the
US federal level are still moving at a mile-a-minute. And don't forget
the state statutes as well! If you do business in states like Massachusetts
that have recently passed additional provisions to protect the privacy
information of employees then you need to be aware of what they require too.

Is a data theft or breach one of your company’s worst nightmares? Read the daily paper to see the serious ramifications that can occur under such a breach. What can and should you know about this subject matter and implement to help protect your client? This presentation provided a summary of the current state of the law (state and federal), a discussion of to whom the laws apply and the types of data that have to be protected, and a description of the technology that can be used to help compliance.

Data security laws are rapidly changing the way organizations manage information worldwide. Breach investigations are becoming increasingly complex and pose greater risk including potential international effect. Recent breaches in the UK have literally changed the political landscape there. In Europe, huge fines have been imposed in recent cases.

Records management does not need to be overwhelming. This panel of ACC members discussed practical steps companies take to address the underlying causes of records management issues around privacy, compliancy, and ediscovery, the common causes of these and other records management related problems, and provided overview and discussion of the practical steps their companies took to reduce related costs and risks. Learn how to uncover where an organization may have these issues in management of their information, potential exposure and practical steps to address them.

We all know that compliance with the electronic discovery rules is a challenge. But what about the ethical issues we face as attorneys? How can we best preserve the attorney-client privilege? What are the ethical implications of outsourcing? How about our own technological competency (or lack thereof)?
