From supply chain issues to force majeure events, cost escalation, and delay claims, the construction industry is seeing an increase in disputes and business disruption. This presentation will cover how those drafting contracts can mitigate risk and best position themselves when issues and claims arise on construction projects.

On Thursday, November 10, 2022, join Norton Rose Fulbright lawyers and the Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC) Minnesota as our panel of speakers presents “Life After Breach”. Data breach headlines have dominated the news cycle in the last 24 months. Nowadays, regulators are taking a hard look at the breach and seizing the opportunity to do a full-scale review of a company’s cyber, privacy and data practices. As a result, organizations need to be prepared to bring the receipts and explain why and how data was being collected, processed and retained. Regulators will look for an explanation of data collection and deletion practices, Privacy by Design, deidentification, and other privacy and security-friendly choices that could have mitigated the fallout from a breach.
