December 3 Webinar: In-House Counsel Seminar – Virtual Edition

The 2021 In-House Counsel Seminar consists of three sessions designed to address issues facing in-house counsel today.
According to a May article in Bloomberg Law, nearly 90% of chief legal officers expect[ed] data privacy issues to accelerate in 2021.  Those surveyed were right to be concerned; data and privacy security should be top of mind for all businesses.  This interactive session will walk attendees through real-life breach scenarios and showcase how they can leverage outside law firms to strategically craft compliance plans and track their corporate boards and third-party vendors for proper security and compliance measures.
A whole lot of legal knowledge, condensed into short sound bites!  Ward and Smith attorneys will present on a variety of current topics pertinent to corporate counsel, including innovations in eDiscovery, ADA website and public access compliance, government relations, and tax.

In-house counsel are often asked to play a role in workplace investigations related to human resources issues.  This role has likely been more involved with constantly evolving COVID-19 rules and regulations.  This session will incorporate virtual interactivity and will allow attendees to act out real-life HR scenarios remotely.  Each case example will be discussed in an open forum to provide insight into navigating the current, complex employment environment.
