What Is It Good For? Drafting Privacy and Data Security Provisions in Contracts

In our increasingly digital and global world, technology and non-technology businesses alike must take the pen on drafting privacy and data security provisions in contracts. From the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) to the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) and The Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA), the rapidly changing landscape of privacy and data security laws means that businesses can often find themselves at risk of not knowing what they don't know when negotiating agreements.

This program will benefit in-house counsel and corporate attorneys looking to get up to speed on emergent topics in contract drafting.
