About the Programme
In recent years, privacy and cybersecurity consistently hit the top of legal leaders' lists of their biggest concerns. In fact, a recent Association of Corporate Counsel Chief Legal Officers Survey found that, when rating a list of items on their importance to the business, CLOs placed cybersecurity, regulation and compliance issues, and data privacy as the top three most critical issues for the business.
With that in mind, we are pleased to invite you to this exclusive, small group roundtable to discuss the practical privacy and cybersecurity issues that in-house counsel and privacy business leaders are confronting in their daily operations. Seyfarth Partner, John Tomaszewski, co-leader of the firm's Global Privacy & Security team, will engage the group in a discussion of pressing topics, including:
- What approaches can be used to enable compliant transfers of data and technology across borders? And what are the implications of this on companies' global compliance programmes?
- How are China's evolving cybersecurity standards impacting in-house legal organisations, and how can in-house counsel most effectively meet them?
- As workforces become increasingly mobile, both within and across borders, how do organisations protect themselves against the associated privacy and security risks?
- How should leaders think about AI use fundamentally – what is the model for AI deployment? When should AI be used, and in conjunction with what other processes? What regulatory approach is best suited to supporting AI while mitigating risks of its use?
Following the roundtable, there will be an opportunity for networking and refreshments.
