To minimize data privacy class action risks, it is imperative that legal departments communicate regularly with marketing, IT and security, as well as other key departments.  How do you ensure that all departments are in sync?
 
Our panel of privacy and cybersecurity practitioners will focus on how in-house counsel can mitigate ethical, privacy, and cybersecurity risks by proactively engaging stakeholders in their organizations, not just when problems arise.  Using current case studies, the panel will share information on the use of website tracking tools and the collection of biometric information. Citing examples from their day to day dealings, effective techniques to incentivize and promote coordination will also be discussed.

All in-house counsel and compliance professionals are encouraged to attend.  There will be ample time for questions and networking.

Heavily relied upon yet often misunderstood, attorney-client privilege is an essential component of any attorney-client relationship.  The privilege is even more complicated in an in-house setting where in-house counsel often wear multiple hats, communicate with a variety of stakeholders, and must make quick decisions.

Please join us for this NextGen Starter Brief as we explore attorney-client privilege.  Preti Flaherty Partner, Ben Piper, will identify some of the key issues and pitfalls concerning the attorney-client privilege in an in-house setting.  Issues covered will include:

  • business versus legal advice;
  • with whom and under what circumstances privileged information may be shared without waiver;
  • privilege between parents, subsidiaries, and other affiliates; and,
  • key distinctions between the attorney-client privilege and the work-product doctrine.

This session will help you brush up on seminal authority and flag issues to help you think more critically about your attorney-client privilege practices.

Register below.  Dial-in credentials will be provided to registrants 24 hours prior to the webinar.
