Intellectual Property

In any matter, your potential e-discovery burden will greatly affect your case strategy. What if you could immediately—right after receiving a complaint—not only know how much likely data you would need to search, collect, process and review, but also have access to potentially responsive documents prior to collection? New e-discovery technology now empowers legal teams to do just that with in-place Early Case Assessment (ECA) capabilities.

In our new technology webcast series, you will hear from technology experts along with in-house legal professionals like yourself on what e-discovery tools they are keeping an eye on and those that have made a lasting impact on their legal departments. This webcast will discuss how in-place ECA works, how other leading legal departments are using it, and why this technology will enable you to make big case strategic decisions earlier, saving you time and money.

Financial service companies will need to lead the charge in flexible and remote working if they are to attract the best possible talent. Something that has never been more important against a backdrop of Brexit and a growing millennial and Gen Z workforce.

Today, only one in six (15%) employees work in businesses that don’t offer flexible working. What used to be a perk is now a mandatory offering.
Alongside the importance of employee satisfaction, the UK is also facing a productivity challenge, on average the UK is 31% less productive than France.

Join Mark Elwood, Director at TeleWare, Dr Lucy Green, CEO & Business Development Expert at Larato and David Mellard, Director and Founder at Bedrock HR, as they discuss:
•The flexible working challenges financial services companies face – including security and data protection
•Can financial services companies safely implement a bring your own device (BYOD) policy?

In this webinar, senior IP lecturer and distinguished start-up mentor, Joe Sekhon, will take us through his proven framework for giving ideas the best chance of success.

Millions of locations online are dedicated to infringing intellectual property, including by offering copyright content without any licence and selling counterfeit products. It doesn’t stop there. Infringers will fake accounts to harvest data, run operations to trap people into paying for services that they never receive and give access to products that are illegal and often dangerous.

All responsible Internet operators can play their part in stopping this proliferation of unlawful activity online. Hosts of websites act to take down an illegal website when notified. Social media platforms remove harmful posts when notified.

But search engines will do very little, if anything. Indexing the world’s information has gone too far.

So, what can be done to redress the balance?

Join us as we analyse:
• What is happening online, with practical case study examples on issues affecting the pharma, sports, consumer product, motoring and electrical sectors
• The case law that shows how search engines can be required to do more
• What next steps brands can take to get more cooperation from search engines

Application vulnerabilities are a prime target for attackers, and the critical task of identifying and remediating these flaws before they’re exploited can be daunting, especially for organizations adopting DevOps and CI/CD practices. Security teams don’t have the time or resources to find and fix every vulnerability, and developers prefer to do what they do best – build and deploy features quickly. Fortunately, developers can be good at their jobs and be your most effective application security resources if you enable them with the low-friction tools and training at the precise time they need them.

Join guest speaker Amy DeMartine, principal analyst at Forrester Research, and Utsav Sanghani, senior product manager at Synopsys, as they explore tools and techniques that can transform your developers into AppSec rock stars:
- Rapid and continuous in-IDE security testing can help your developers find and fix issues before they ever get committed to your codebase.
- Delivering short, contextualized AppSec training modules to developers in real time when they introduce vulnerabilities.
- Most modern applications contain more open source code than proprietary code. Help your developers identify and avoid risky OSS components.

Data analytics seems like a tool for large firms with data scientists and geeks – but data analytics are really just reports of what has happened. They are like maps for litigation.

Data analytics doesn’t have to be intimidating, and in fact, it can level the playing field in litigation, helping small firms to harness the kinds of resources that large firms do.

In this session, Fastcase CEO Ed Walters (and editor of the new book, "Data-Driven Law") will give an introduction to data analytics – what they are, and how to use analytics to make better strategic decisions and to win more cases.

You don’t need a security clearance to read these emails and the lessons learned will help you prepare for successful investigations and eDiscovery. Get hands-on with specific, practical guidance to address your next investigation whether it involves a single device or terabytes of data. This session will walk through some of the top challenges facing lawyers tasked with analyzing troves of digital data and bring it all together with a live, mock investigation using Hillary Clinton’s public FOIA release.

Topics will include:
- Crafting modern policies that address contemporary challenges around InfoGov, BYOD, and shadow IT
- Collecting and analyzing digital evidence from routine emails to new sources like voice, video, and chat
- Understanding how communication maps, metadata visualization, and other advanced analytics like phrase analysis surface key evidence
- Leveraging AI to automatically organize documents, find keywords, and automate the heavy lift of document review

This webinar features expert attorneys from law firms and legal technology software developers who will share their best practices, war stories, and lessons learned from conducting technology-assisted investigations. If you’ve ever wondered how many lawyers it takes to analyze an email server (or how to do it with less) this session is for you.

The core job of attorneys is changing dramatically due to technology. The evolution of legal tech began with products that provided greater efficiencies in the management of routine tasks such as billing, research, and client communication. Today, it involves technologies such as advanced software and coding that have significantly enhanced legal capabilities. These include AI, which allows lawyers to quickly review large volumes of documents and digital material in multiple languages and dialects, resulting in enormous time and cost-savings.

Today, advanced technologies are more embedded in the practice of law. As a result, law firms and corporate legal departments are faced with a need to change: embrace technology or risk losing a competitive advantage. Lawyers must be tech savvy unlike ever before.

How can lawyers adapt to this new environment?
What is the proper balance between manual processes and those that are automated by technology?
What can law firms do culturally to ensure that lawyers can leverage technology to work more efficiently?

This webinar will highlight how forces such as AI, predictive coding, and data analytics are reshaping the practice of law. It will focus on ways in which attorneys can be empowered to use technology to achieve greater outcomes. It will also highlight how and why it is critical for law firms to bring in the right people to ensure that advanced technologies can be optimally deployed to deliver legal services.

Just like most software assets contain open source, modern software applications commonly link to external web services via APIs. By using web services, developers may be inadvertently signing their companies up to terms of service or using a web service without a suitable agreement. And using these services can expose a company to security, data privacy, and operational risks that could disrupt or severely affect the business. As part of the tech M&A due diligence process, you should be aware of these web services-related risks so that you can make informed decisions about deal valuation and remediation.

Join Tony Decicco, shareholder at GTC Law Group and Affiliates, and Phil Odence, GM of Black Duck Audits, as they discuss the types of risk associated with web services and how they can affect an M&A transaction. They’ll cover:

• Typical terms of service and common pitfalls
• The legal compliance, data privacy, security, and business risks that come with web services
• Real-world examples of these risks
• How a buyer can get a better understanding of these risks in a target’s codebase or a seller can prepare for diligence to avoid risks in this area
