About This Webinar

Today, cybersecurity experts often say businesses have either already experienced a cyber-attack or will undoubtedly in the future. While good progress has been made in establishing comprehensive incident response and increasing cybersecurity awareness, attorneys must also meet ethical obligations in understanding the technology, as well as monitoring responding to cyber incidents. In our increasingly digitized world, these responsibilities, outlined in the Model Rules of Professional Conduct, are critical to attorneys’ practice and client representation. This seminar provides attorneys with guidance on their ethical duties and insights from expert practitioners on meeting the challenge of technology.  

In this seminar, our expert panelists begin by introducing the ethical concerns that data breaches can create. Our speakers then go on to outline the responsibilities that attorneys have when dealing with a data breach incident using the Model Rules of Professional Conduct. The experts will focus on the necessity of having foundational knowledge on the methods of protecting client data and the violations that could incur. The panelists will then go through the various rules related to the notice of data breach. They will summarize the obligations of reporting to current and former clients. Finally, the panelists will engage in a lively discussion of some of the less clearly defined rules and how they are interpreted by lawyers and courts.  

This course is brought to you by the Global Cyber Institute and Thomson Reuters and is nationally accredited.

Topics covered in this webinar:   

  1. State of Cryptocurrency and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) 
  2. Increased Enforcement Actions in 2023

About This Webinar

The fall of FTX at the end of 2022 and Sam Bankman-Fried’s ensuing trial throughout 2022 left many doubting the future legitimacy of decentralized finance and cryptocurrency. Yet while there are still many crypto enthusiasts and users, mainstream attention towards this industry has focused on the increasing enforcement actions against DeFi platforms and exchanges by regulatory agencies, particularly from the Securities and Exchange Commission. In 2023, the SEC’s Division of Enforcement brought numerous actions against crypto asset lending and staking services. Particularly notable examples such as Binance, Kraken, and Coinbase alleged that the organizations operated as unregistered national securities, exchanged brokers, and clearing agencies. There were additionally hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of charges for fraud and misappropriation of funds. Yet these enforcement actions received pushback from U.S. lawmakers and private entities, pushing back against its “regulation by enforcement” approach towards crypto, rather than an established legal framework for organizations to reference for compliance. In the face of lowered consumer faith, increasing enforcement actions, and governance tensions, this course taught by our subject matter experts and practitioners will be an essential resource for attorneys advising actors in the DeFi space or looking to better understand the industry. 

In this seminar, our expert panelists begin with a discussion of the state of cryptocurrency and what developments 2023 has brought. Next, the panelists discuss the enforcement stance adopted by the SEC in the past year and analyze its enforcement actions against cryptocurrency players in 2023, unraveling the complexities of key cases to provide attendees with a nuanced perspective on the legal challenges faced by the industry. The speakers then review the new bipartisan bill introduced by the Senate with the goal of regulating decentralized finance protocols, addressing critical issues that have emerged in this rapidly evolving sector. Finally, the panelists share their key takeaways from 2023 and their expectations going into 2024.

About This Webinar

Today, most businesses know that cybersecurity threats are as much of a technical risk as they are a legal and regulatory one. The consequences of a cyber event are costly, and the proof is in the numbers. The United States, in particular, leads the world in incurring the highest average cost of data breaches, much of which is incurred through customer litigations and regulatory enforcement. In 2023, cybersecurity regulations across all sectors were plentiful, and some defining cyber-attacks, such as the MOVEit data breach, or cases such as Merck Co. Inc. et al. v. ACE American Insurance Co. et al., will have lasting effects on corporate cybersecurity. Looking to 2024 and beyond, knowledge of the past year’s cyber litigations and regulatory developments will enable lawyers to proactively assess risks, develop robust cybersecurity strategies, and navigate the complex landscape of cybersecurity litigation.  

In this seminar, our expert panelists will begin by giving background about cybersecurity and the threat landscape in 2023. Audience members will get a better understanding of the different modes of attack that threat actors may use as well as context into one of the biggest breaches of the year so far. The experts then go on to outline the new and proposed SEC rules related to cybersecurity. They describe the new disclosure requirements as well as the proposed consumer protection rules. The panelists then focus on the defining cybersecurity litigations of 2023, sharing the key insights and lessons to retain from the past year’s events. They conclude by sharing what to expect and prepare for in the future of cybersecurity litigation.

About This Webinar

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) has stood out as a beacon of consumer protection in the digital age since its enactment in 2020. The groundbreaking legislation represented a defining step in data privacy regulation in the United States and has been followed by an increasing number of states’ own such regulatory efforts. The California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) amendment to the CCPA took effect on January 1, 2023. Yet its enforcement was delayed until March 29, 2024, by a California court injunction. This postponement allowed businesses the welcomed additional time to comply, but ahead of the rapidly approaching deadline and existing regulations remaining active and enforceable, understanding the intricacies of the CCPA is paramount for attorneys. By comprehending the nuances of this legislation, lawyers can effectively counsel their clients on compliance measures, minimizing the risk of legal repercussions and safeguarding their reputation in an era of ballooning consumer data.  

In this seminar, our expert panelists begin by providing attendees with a comprehensive overview of the California Consumer Privacy Act and the protections it affords consumers under the law. They shed light on the foundational principles of the CCPA, emphasizing the crucial rights it grants to Californian residents regarding their personal data. The panelists then discuss the CPRA, marking a significant evolution in data privacy regulation. The panelists will meticulously dissect these amendments, elucidating the expanded definition of personal data and the nuanced implications of the transference of rulemaking authority. Attendees can expect insight into the practical implications for businesses and consumers alike. The seminar will continue with the developments that unfolded in 2023 and the experts will share their insights and expectations for 2024, providing valuable foresight into the regulatory changes and emerging trends as the digital landscape continues to expand.

About This Webinar

In our rapidly advancing global economy, the benefits of modernization and digital integration are undeniable, bringing unprecedented efficiency and connectivity to our daily lives. But as much as we get out of it, we also put in. The more digitized our lives become the higher the volume of personal data that will enter the digital landscape. So much of our personal information is collected online by companies we would not even consider. Every click, every interaction online results in a trail of data, much of which is harvested by companies without explicit consent. Companies will then take our personal information and sell it online to third-parties. Essentially, our data could be anywhere and everywhere online. Amidst this digital frenzy, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the European Union’s comprehensive data privacy law, stands as a beacon of privacy rights and consumer protections. As fines for non-compliance only continue to increase, counsel advising clients with business in the EU will find this webinar an excellent opportunity to better understand the regulation and stay updated on the past year’s developments.

In this seminar, our expert panelists will introduce GDPR, shedding light on the regulation and the background to its establishment. They will cover the far-reaching scope of the regulation as well as its exceptions. The experts will then go on to describe the recent changes to how GDPR is regulated that came about in 2023. They will describe the EU’s move towards a more centralized enforcement model allowing for greater consistency across rulings in various EU countries. The panelists will continue by discussing the criteria for receiving GDPR penalties, emphasizing the accountability of entities that violate these stringent regulations. They will continue by reviewing some of the fines that have been distributed throughout the EU, including the standout example and largest fine to date given to Meta, serving as a stark reminder of the serious consequences of mishandling personal data.
