Join Brianna Dally, privacy and cybersecurity attorney at Troutman Pepper Locke, and Diana Scott, Founder and CEO of BlueCastle IT Solutions LLC, for a candid, one-hour lunchtime webinar that reveals the cyber incidents and legal issues that often stay out of the spotlight. You will hear real-world stories of potential and actual cyber incidents, including what triggered them, how they unfolded, and what steps could have helped prevent or mitigate their impact. This CLE will walk through the compliance obligations that apply before an incident occurs and the legal requirements that arise afterward, including notification timelines, regulatory exposure, and affirmative duties to implement preventative safeguards under applicable privacy and cybersecurity laws. Rather than serving only as a refresher, this program will focus on what is happening in practice, what is not always discussed, and what the law requires organizations and legal professionals to do in response.

Employers are using AI to recruit, hire, evaluate, and manage employees, and the law is racing to catch up. New state and local laws require bias audits, notices, and risk assessments, while plaintiffs are bringing discrimination claims against both employers and AI vendors. Do you know where the legal guardrails are and where the risks lie? This program gives employment counsel a practical framework for advising clients on the current rules, managing AI vendors, and building compliance programs that reduce litigation risk.

This program will give attorneys practical guidance on when a case is ripe for mediation and which mediation option best serves the client and the matter. The discussion will feature perspectives and insights from a distinguished panel spanning judicial neutrals, seasoned private mediators, and experienced practitioners. It will explore judicial and private mediation, including the benefits, limitations, costs, and strategic considerations of each. Panelists will discuss how attorneys can identify when a matter is ripe for mediation, counsel clients about the decision to mediate, evaluate the value of engaging a private third-party neutral, and approach mediation as part of an effective case strategy. The discussion will emphasize practical considerations attorneys can apply to their own matters, particularly in solo and small-firm practice.
