In a post-COVID world, hybrid and completely remote employees have become increasingly commonplace, with employers struggling to find ways to monitor productivity and availability, ensure the security of confidential data and sensitive personal information, and encourage compliance with legal requirements and employment policies. Increasingly, employers are exploring remote monitoring options such as video surveillance, keylogging, application monitoring, geolocation tracking, monitoring software on company-issued devices and mobile device management software for personal devices used for business. The legality of the use of such monitoring techniques varies both within the U.S. and internationally. This session will help employers identify the commonalities and differences in these laws and to navigate this complicated area.

Join Snell & Wilmer attorneys Joe Adams, Megan Carrasco, and Howard Privette as they examine the evolving ethical landscape of SEC investigations and enforcement, with particular attention to recent shifts in enforcement priorities, increased transparency in the Wells process, and heightened scrutiny of counsel conduct.
