On Thursday, April 26, Christian & Small Partner Jonathan W. Macklem, along with retired FBI Special Agent Scott Augenbaum, will present a webinar on legal developments in data breach cases and provide practical tips to share with clients when, and if, they need to respond a data breach.
The statistics on data breaches are staggering. According to a recent report in Ipswich, the Breach Level Index (BLR) indicates that an average of 5,076,479 data records was lost or stolen every day in 2017. These breaches cost companies financially and in loss of reputation. The first 24-48 hours after a breach is discovered are critical to mitigating damages from the breach. That’s why it’s so important to be proactive when advising clients how to respond to a data breach — before it happens.
If you assist clients in financing commercial real estate transactions, this webinar will provide guidance in understanding the latest rules and best practices so you can ensure the optimal outcome, and will cover the following topics:
- How to be a “breach coach” to your client
- Attorney-client privilege considerations
- Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standards
- The ever-evolving arena of data breach litigation
- Judicial disagreement on the issues of Article III standing — who is the victim here?
- Class action considerations
- Rise in subrogation claims
- Administrative claims
The webinar, presented in conjunction with the Alabama Law Weekly, has been approved for one hour of Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credit and will take place from 2 to 3 p.m. CDT. Click here to register.
