Event

The Georgia Chapter of Association of Corporate Counsel and FordHarrison LLP will present "Do You Know Who's Looking Behind the Curtain? How Much Can Employee Data Breaches Really Hurt Your Company?"  Employee data privacy laws are complex and continuing to evolve from both federal and state law perspectives.  Data privacy requirements of foreign jurisdictions also can be implicated for multinational companies.  The cost of data breaches can be significant, including fines, damages, and criminal punishment.  To avoid breaches or to any mitigate breaches,   

in-house counsel must ensure that their companies' have privacy policies and procedures, provide training, and perform risk assessment and planning for any potential breaches to ensure prompt and thorough investigation.  In-house counsel of multinational companies should consider use of model contractual provisions, self-certification safe harbor program, and binding corporate rules for cross-border data transfers.

 

Join FordHarrison partner Tiffany Downs and associate Scott Wagner for a luncheon seminar as they help you navigate the various employee data privacy laws.  Tiffany and Scott will discuss best practices for ensuring compliance with the differing employee privacy data laws and checklist of items for consideration, the cost of and remedies available for non-compliance and strategies for dealing with breaches and mitigation efforts.

Attendance is limited to ACC members and their invited guests, as well as prospective ACC members. ACC membership is open to attorneys who practice law as in-house counsel employees of organizations and who do not hold themselves out to the public for the practice of law.
