Information Security for Lawyers: Fundamental Concepts and Key Considerations

In today’s digital-first legal environment, information security is no longer just an IT issue — it’s a legal and contractual priority. Lawyers are increasingly tasked with reviewing and negotiating information security provisions in contracts, assessing cybersecurity risk, and advising on potential exposures. A clear understanding of core concepts is critical to mitigating risk and protecting your organization.

Join us on Tuesday, June 17 at 12pm ET as John Lee (General Counsel & Head of Strategy, Ruli AI), Anna Rudawski (Partner, A&O Shearman), and Gary Baalman (Principal Cloud Security Architect, Adobe) break down key issues in a session moderated by Alex Touma (Partner, A&O Shearman). This discussion will bridge the gap between technical and legal perspectives, empowering in-house counsel to engage confidently with information security terms, exhibits, and incidents.

You’ll Learn:

• Core technical concepts every lawyer should know (including data breaches and threat vectors)
• Key contract considerations and pitfalls in information security provisions
• Best practices for negotiating and reviewing infosec exhibits
• Common legal remedies, including the role and limits of cyber insurance
• How to collaborate effectively with IT and security stakeholders
