The Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC) is the world's largest organization serving the professional and business interests of attorneys who practice in the legal departments of corporations, associations, nonprofits and other private-sector organizations around the globe.
This webinar is designed to guide in-house counsel in navigating real estate issues that may affect their interests. Using a fictitious case study of a merger and acquisition transaction, the panelists will provide an outline of the real estate issues often encountered in M&A transactions, from due diligence matters to leasing, structuring and financing. In the course of the case study, the panelists will identify commonly encountered real estate issues, both within M&A transactions and in the ordinary course of a company’s business, including pointers on assessing real estate due diligence and dealing with specific issues, such as lease consolidations/relocations/expansions; estoppels and SNDAs; letters of intent, and when consulting with outside counsel may be advisable.
Presented by Diane Shapiro Richer and Jennifer Jones, Shareholders in the Real Estate group of AmLaw 100 law firm, Polsinelli, and Marc Sobel, Executive Vice President and General Counsel of JM Zell.

Is your cybersecurity program, data privacy controls and cyber policy still adequate for your company? Covid-19 has changed the way companies conduct business and created additional risks in almost every area. Remote working is now the new normal for many industries, employees are using their own electronic devices instead of company electronic devices, and new vendors are being hired in large numbers. At the same time, cyberattacks have increased worldwide as sophisticated criminals find new ways to hack vulnerable networks. Further, privacy issues have also increased. Companies are now conducting Covid-19 testing and collecting data from employees, vendors and customers that they never imagined they would collect just a mere 9 months ago.
In this presentation the speakers will walk through scenarios for companies who may face a breach in this heightened risk environment, the changes in risks for cyberattacks and privacy issues, and discuss key items to review in your current coverage and for renewal.

What began over two years ago mainly as a “battle of the forms” to update terms of Data Protection Agreements for GDPR has now exploded into a complex discussion of how to address European personal data transfers in light of the Schrems II decision. With Privacy Shield now being invalidated and the EU Standard Contractual Clauses being called into question, companies now have an uncertain path forward for transferring personal data from Europe to the United States. We will explore potential strategies, what happens with Privacy Shield, and whether amendment of current mechanisms are needed in order to limit GDPR risk. In light of the uncertainty, we will discuss how such cross-border transfers can be approached.
Presented by Courtney Barton Vice President & Senior Counsel, Privacy & Data Security, Global Compliance at Marriott International, Cobun Zweifel-Keegan, Deputy Director, Privacy Initiatives at BBB National Programs, and Tyler Thompson, ACC Colorado Chapter liaison and Colorado attorney.
Moderated by Randy V. Sabett, Special Counsel with Cooley LLP.
