Information Security for Lawyers: Fundamental Concepts and Key Considerations
Event Description
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
Who Should Attend:
This program is designed for in-house counsel, legal operations professionals, and contract managers who work closely on technology, vendor, or data-related matters.
