Many employers’ social media policies -- if they exist at all -- have not been adapted for the post-pandemic, remote-work environment. And the lines between on-duty and off-duty are blurred now more than ever. Contemporary social media usage brings risks of harassment in nuanced forms, like trolling, doxing, and brigading. This presentation advocates for social media disaster prevention through development of policies reflecting corporate values and respecting workers’ rights. Our presenters will discuss real life examples, from multiple angles: employees as the bad actor or the victim, knee-jerk behavior from decision makers, and both clear cases and gray areas.
This one-hour program will address the role of in-house counsel in private M&A transactions and, specifically, their ability to enhance the value of a deal to their client. By virtue of being deeply familiar with their companies and being business partners, as well as lawyers, in-house counsel have the ability to add value at every step of a transaction – be it transaction planning and valuation, due diligence, contract negotiation or post-closing integration. The program will discuss ways for in-house counsel to contribute to the success of an M&A transaction involving a privately held company, emphasizing certain differences between buyer and seller. The presenters will provide practical advice to in-house counsel related to transaction preparation and structuring, due diligence, purchase price negotiation, risk allocation (including R&W insurance) and post-transaction covenants.
Data privacy and security issues impact organizations of all sizes, in all industries, and in all jurisdictions. And, due to a confluence of factors, these issues are top-of-mind for leaders of many organizations. In this presentation, we will:
1. delve into why data privacy and security have become such high-priority issues for organizations across the spectrum;
2. review key legislative and regulatory developments in the data privacy and security space;
3. discuss how data privacy and security issues generate significant workplace risk; and
4. demonstrate how effective policies and procedures can mitigate that risk.
