As the tools of the modern day hacker continue to evolve in sophistication, businesses are left reactively combating new attempts to attack their data.  Although ransomware is not a new threat, its use and danger continue to accelerate.  Could abandoning your viewpoint of what you think you know about cybersecurity be the solution? Join Newmeyer Dillion as we take a deeper look at the evolution of the cyberattacks offering varying perspectives pinpointing ransomware, cybersecurity and how to prevent devastating attacks. We will share proactive technical insight, including testing and remediation, and offer the legal regulatory and insurance standpoint to keep businesses protected. Attendees will walk away with:

  • Necessary policies and procedures to have in place
  • How to secure your network and proactively avoid ransomware
  • What steps to take if a cyber incident occurs
  • How to obtain appropriate cyber insurance as a fail-safe protection

What 2020 has Wrought and why the “D” in DEIB is not Enough:  “D”iversity is critical, but “E”quity, “I”nclusion” and “B”elonging are Paramount in Achieving and Sustaining Healthy Workplaces and Workforces.

Audience

Corporate representatives, business owners and employers motivated to create and maintain healthy spaces for employees and staff to thrive and succeed as their authentic, unadulterated  selves by identifying and working to neutralize systemic, though often invisible, barriers to equity in opportunity and outcomes, meaningful inclusion at the heart decision-making, vision-setting and leadership, and belonging.

Description of Presentation

This interactive session will both challenge and inspire attendees to resist the urge to check off the DEIB box having only satisfied the “D” for diversity and instead roll up their sleeves and dig into the weightier matters of equity, inclusion and belonging – the ingredients for sustained, meaningful diversity.  This session will examine the unprecedented and traumatic impact the year 2020 has had on employees and workforces around the country.   

Against the backdrop of the pandemic, racial unrest and reckoning, the digital divide, divisive politics and the ever-more-stark disparities between majority and minority populations, business owners, corporate representatives and employers must strategically navigate the inevitable impact this trauma will introduce into their carefully-curated eco-systems. 

The session will provide the tools necessary to create and preserve safe and healthy environments were all can contribute meaningfully, authentically and productively regardless of race, gender, religious or other affiliation. 

Join us for a candid discussion about how to be an effective ally to diverse colleagues. Hear from our panelists who will share their personal stories of successfully championing women and people of color in their organizations. Our seasoned panel also includes a diversity expert and executive coach who will give tips on how to set the tone for inclusion to foster professional growth among colleagues.

We will walk through a variety of real world scenarios where men can disrupt negative patterns and assumptions to make a positive impact, including:

  •      Effecting change through corporate governance 
  •      Discouraging interruption of diverse colleagues during meetings
  •      Giving credit for an idea or work where it’s due
  •      Proactively sponsoring others for development opportunities, raises and promotions
  •      Speaking up to stop disparaging remarks when others are not present
  •      Fostering open communication and protocols to avoid career-killing assumptions about family matters

The flurry of recent examples of police brutality toward African Americans has sparked a renewed conversation about who we are as a country, and what we—as lawyers—should be doing to better confront racism and inequality in our justice system. Jones Day is proud to support a panel of key advocates to advance this discussion. Come ready to be inspired and encouraged about how you can make a difference in your company, your city, and your community.

Christy Lea, an intellectual property litigator and partner at Knobbe Martens, co-led a 7-member trial team to a $112M victory on behalf of client, Edwards Lifesciences CardiAQ. Once a local startup company, CardiAQ successfully sued a former vendor for trade secret misappropriation, while being acquired by Edwards Lifesciences for $400M along the way. This webinar will explore the behind the scenes of protecting trade secrets, trial and witness prep, courtroom dynamics, trial themes that worked and didn’t work, and other facets of a great success story.

If you are on the legal team for a health IT developer, a provider of telemedicine, or a company that offers a remote monitoring platform, or if your employer supports health IT companies or healthcare providers, you should be aware of these new rules.

On March 9, 2020, the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services published a set of inter-related final rules addressing interoperability, information blocking, standards to support data exchange via secure APIs, electronic health record certification criteria, and patient access to data. 

This webinar will walk participants through the ONC rule, which finalized significant changes to the health IT certification program that will require developers to update to their technology. The Final Rule also clarified how the healthcare industry can prevent information blocking among healthcare providers, health IT developers, exchanges and health information networks.

Among other elements, the webinar will:

  • discuss the different types of entities that are subject to the ONC rule
  • describe updates to the 2015 Edition Health IT Certification criteria  and new conditions and maintenance of certification criteria; and
  • explain the concept of “information blocking” and how ONC intends to enforce it

With a hotly contested presidential election looming in the midst of the pandemic, political ‘discussions’ inevitably arise in the workplace. What should employers do when an employee displays a politically sensitive background on a Zoom meeting, and some employees complain about it? In this month's webinar, we will discuss how to handle these challenging issues, which depend on the workplace laws, the type of workplace (e.g, public or private employer), and the content of the political talk or expression. Please join Procopio Labor and Employment Attorneys Tyler M. Paetkau and Stephenie M. Alexander as they share important guidance on this topic.

Steven Stokdyk and Keith Halverstam, corporate partners at Latham, will discuss cutting-edge issues that their public company clients continue to face during the pandemic, including SEC comment letters, non-GAAP addbacks for disclosure and covenants, Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other matters. They will also be fielding questions so bring your difficult issues!

REGISTRATION IS CLOSED.
