Bloomberg Law And Paul Hastings Hosting Complimentary Webinar October 16 On Implications Of Overturn Of U.S.-EU Safe Harbor Accord
ARLINGTON, Va., Oct. 14, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Bloomberg Law and Paul Hastings LLP today announced they will be co-hosting a complimentary live Webinar on Friday, October 16 focused on the practical ramifications and critical next steps for law firms and multinational corporations in the wake of the overturn of the U.S.-EU Safe Harbor Accord. Attendees will hear from corporate privacy leaders on the practical short- and long-term ramifications for companies that have certified under the Safe Harbor Accord or work with vendors that rely on it. Registration for the Webinar, which takes place from Noon to 1:00 p.m. Eastern this Friday, is available here.
Companies that are currently depending on Safe Harbor to transfer data from the EU to the United States will hear from a panel of experts on approaches to minimize compliance and enforcement risks from the fallout of this landmark decision. Confirmed speakers include:
- Hugo Teufel III, Privacy Counsel, Raytheon Company
- Pedro Pavón, Senior Corporate Counsel, Oracle Corporation
- Jim Koenig, Of Counsel, Paul Hastings
- Brian Kudowitz, Bloomberg Law Commercial Product Director, Bloomberg BNA
"Without a legitimate basis to transfer personal data to the U.S., companies that rely on Safe Harbor should make changes to minimize compliance and enforcement risks swiftly," said Jim Koenig. "From putting model contracts in place to considering EU country-by-country leeway, there are several practical approaches that these companies should consider."
"This decision represents yet another major change in the status quo of EU-U.S. data transfer practice," added Brian Kudowitz. "Companies and legal counsel need to take stock of their business operations, data collection, storage, and transfer procedures, and ability to evolve their programs to meet the increasing rigors of oversight and compliance. Technology coupled with expert analysis offers an effective solution to meet these increasing demands."
Webinar registration is available here. Participants are eligible for 1 CLE credit.
