August 1: Cyber Law and Cybersecurity Insurance 101

With data breaches and security incidents happening daily, it is not a matter of IF you will experience a cybersecurity incident, but WHEN. Cybersecurity threats are growing in scale and complexity and virtually every company in all industries face growing cyber risks.

As cybersecurity laws and regulations unfold and consumer lawsuits become the norm, cybersecurity remains a top concern for businesses, including the C-suite. Although there is no substitute for strong cybersecurity management, businesses often look to cybersecurity insurance policies as the last line of defense. However, cyber policies are complex, often confusing, and the cyber insurance landscape is still evolving. 

This 60-minute seminar will provide an update on the current state of Cyber Law, including data breaches and privacy issues; current litigation; cybersecurity laws and regulations; cybersecurity insurance coverage with practical tips on key issues and risks to consider when purchasing a cybersecurity policy; recent trends; and available cyber resources.

August 24: The Supreme Court’s Prohibition on the Consideration of Race in Student Admissions and the Impact on Employer DE&I Programs

Among the flurry of end-of-term decisions issued this summer, the U.S. Supreme Court broke with long-standing precedent to rule that educational institutions can no longer take race into account when making admissions decisions. Since then, more than a dozen state attorneys general have cautioned large corporations of the potential consequences of using race as a factor in hiring and employment-related decisions, and employers are now questioning what can and cannot be done with DE&I programs that have been developed over the years to address historical inequity in the workplace.
This webinar will provide a timely discussion on the following:

• What the Court’s affirmative action decision said and did not say
• EEOC commissioner viewpoint: affirmative action and Title VII
• The impact of the decision on higher education and private employers
• Best practices for employers when implementing or reviewing workplace DE&I programs in light of the Court’s decision.

August 22: Balancing Competition and Innovation Amid the Changing Antitrust Landscape

Competition laws ensure all companies, regardless of size or power, have fair opportunities to succeed in their markets. However, rapid technological advancements have made it difficult for antitrust bodies to regulate certain industries. This leaves companies with little guidance on how to continue developing innovative products and services without being hindered by overly restrictive regulations or resorting to anti-competitive practices.
Hence, as the antitrust landscape continues to evolve, businesses and their counsel must proactively monitor regulatory trends and updates as well as revisit their compliance programs to avoid exposure to risks and future liabilities.
Join a panel of key thought leaders and practitioners assembled by The Knowledge Group as they provide the audience with an in-depth discussion of recent developments and potential enforcement directions surrounding antitrust laws. Speakers will also offer the best practices for businesses to thrive under the current legal climate while maintaining compliance.
Key issues that will be covered in this course are:

• Antitrust Laws: An Overview
• Recent Regulatory Developments and Enforcement Actions
• Key Challenges and Opportunities
• Effective Compliance Tips and Strategies
• What Lies Ahead.

July 20: ESG Lawsuits: Exploring Emerging Areas of Risk

Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues are discussed and debated everywhere, from corporate boardrooms to political campaigns. But once ESG reaches the courtroom, it graduates from an intangible group of concepts to a concrete, measurable field of legal practice—one that is forming rapidly with each new plaintiff’s lawsuit and judge’s opinion.
While corporate legal departments wait for regulatory action to identify the most important ESG risks, the courts are already pointing the way. In the past five quarters, federal ESG-related lawsuits have focused on the emerging areas of environmental justice, product advertising, employment, and environmental commitments.
This webinar examines the facts, trends, and key cases in litigation that have brought ESG to this crucial juncture. Bloomberg Law legal experts will discuss what we know about the fast-growing body of case law, covering such topics as climate disclosures, DEI, green product claims, ESG investment, workplace safety, and carbon commitments.
Learning Objectives:

• Understand the current state of ESG litigation and identify the biggest lawsuit hotspots.
• Get the facts about federal court filing trends in key ESG areas to see who’s suing whom, where, and for what.
• Learn from recent cases and opinions to assist in auditing ESG risk areas and develop defense strategies.

Who would benefit most from attending this program?

• Corporate in-house counsel involved in risk management and litigation matters
• Law firm attorneys advising clients on environmental, social, and governance issues
• Legal industry trend-watchers seeking to keep up with emerging developments in ESG

August 16: HR Essentials – Let’s Talk About Managing Employee Leaves of Absence

California employers dealing with their employees’ leaves of absence requests must sort through an alphabet soup of complex and ever-changing federal and California leave laws, including FMLA, CFRA, PDL, PFL, PSL, SDI, ADA, and CRD (formerly FEHA), and often the laws of counties, cities, and other municipalities. Employers often find themselves challenged and seeking clarification, including answering the baseline questions of what leave laws apply to an employee's request for leave. Attempting to determine whether and the extent to which these employee leave requests may overlap, interact, or run concurrently results in ever-increasing challenges in today’s workplaces. Employers increasingly face claims for getting leave requests wrong. They are threatened with significant exposure and costly and time-consuming litigation in the courts and claims brought to the California Civil Rights Department and the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Given this ever-changing scenario, employers should periodically review these complex laws, their policies and procedures, and best practices to effectively and proactively manage the myriad issues they may face concerning managing their employees’ requests for leave. Join Cozen O’Connor attorneys for a discussion of this alphabet soup of leave laws, the latest developments, and the best practices employers must follow to reduce legal risks.
For experienced human resources professionals, this webinar will be a practical refresher. For less experienced human resources professionals, this webinar will provide an introduction and real-world advice regarding leave of absence essentials.

July 3, 10, 17+25: Breached! Cybersecurity 101

With data security incidents and data breaches happening daily, it’s important for attorneys to turn towards one reality—it’s NOT IF a breach or incident will occur—it’s WHEN. 

These incidents are forcing government agencies, companies, law firms, etc. to address, define, and handle these challenges. As cloud technology and big-data analytics have become the norm, cybersecurity risks have increased and it is more important than ever to have both an avoidance and a response plan in place.

During this 60-minute CLE session, we will cover (1) the latest security threats in the news and what’s being done to address/remedy them, (2) explore current data breach laws, (3) the roles and responsibilities of government agencies, and (4) how to prepare a data breach avoidance plan as well as a data breach response plan. 

After completing this course, you will be able to: 

• Know the latest cybersecurity threats the U.S. is facing; 
• Understand the different roles and responsibilities of various agencies; what the legal framework surrounding data breaches look like? How both government entities and companies across the globe have been impacted by cyber breaches; and 
• How to prepare both a “data breach avoidance plan” as well as a “data breach response plan.”

July 13: The Cyberthreat Landscape for Law Firms 2023 Mid-Year Report

As we approach the midpoint of 2023, the cyberthreat landscape for law firms remains in some ways unchanged since the year began. The same culprits – human error, lack of team training, social manipulation – cause the most problems.
But in other ways, things have grown worse. New and more insidious threats emerge each day. Increasing reliance on cloud technologies and remote servers for data storage is heightening the risk of a cyber attack or data breach.
Meanwhile, lawyers have an ethical obligation (Rule 1.1) to stay current on changes in technology and cybersecurity.
This program will help attorneys and legal professionals comply with Rule 1.1 by exploring the mid-year cyber landscape and taking a deep dive into attorney ethics and best practices.

August 10: Federal White Collar Fraud Prosecutions: Examining the Supreme Court’s New Restrictions

Recent Supreme Court rulings involving white collar fraud prosecutions have sparked a reevaluation of prosecutorial power and legal boundaries. These decisions may make it more difficult for federal prosecutors to bring charges related to suspected financial schemes including bank fraud, money laundering and insider trading. In two related cases stemming from alleged corruption during the tenure of former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, the Court continued a trend of pushing-back against perceived prosecutorial overreach by the U.S. Department of Justice. On the same day the Court announced its decisions in the Cuomo cases, an influential Boston-based federal appeals panel overturned the convictions of the only two parents who went to trial in the high-profile Varsity Blues college admissions scandal, ruling that federal prosecutors tried to “criminalize a wide swath of conduct” that isn’t illegal, even if it might be unethical. This term, the Supreme Court also issued important rulings impacting government enforcement under the federal False Claims Act (FCA). By restricting specific fraud statutes and overturning innovative prosecution theories, the Court is actively reshaping the landscape of federal white collar fraud enforcement.
In a LIVE webcast, thought leader and practitioner Vince Farhat will explore the impact of the Supreme Court’s decisions and their implications on federal fraud prosecutions. He will also examine notable cases and their impact for prosecutors and defendants, as well as provide strategies for navigating the evolving legal framework.
Some of the major topics that will be covered in this course are:

• Understanding the Supreme Court’s New Restrictions
• Case Analysis: Examining Alleged Corruption and FCA Cases
• Implications for White Collar Litigants
• Best Practices for Federal Fraud Investigations and Prosecutions
• What Lies Ahead
