Bad news hits front pages and TV screens every week: Ever-larger data breaches affect millions of trusted companies' customers. The good news is the buyer’s market for cyber insurance; businesses can shop not only on the basis of price but for policy terms that cover actual risks. Traditional lines of coverage (including crime, property, general liability and directors and officers) can provide coverage when a breach occurs, although new exclusions are pushing more businesses toward specialty policies. In this evolving market, it’s essential to analyze existing coverage and terms offered in competing cyber policies. This session will spotlight key policy provisions to demand and others to avoid. The panelists will view cyber insurance in the risk management context, including prevention and post-breach planning. They will outline an approach to cyber security equally focused on human factors: building staff awareness and the right protocols.

EU data privacy laws make the collection of Electronically stored information (ESI) and its transfer out of Europe challenging. The session will begin with a brief update of U.S. case law focusing on cross-border discovery generally, and then turn to a discussion of Privacy by Design ("PbD"), which has become the gold standard for privacy protection in the 21st Century. This discussion will cover examples of how PbD has been operationalized and used to address the challenges presented by EU data privacy laws. The session will then cover Europe's acknowledgement of Canada's stringent privacy laws which make it a unique base for e-discovery collection, analysis and review. By collecting ESI from European employees into Canada, and then culling down/reviewing ESI in Canada to identify responsive email and documents, organization can minimize the amount of ESI for which they must obtain consent from employees for transfer to the U.S.

Law departments are often considered cost centers for the business, not revenue generators. However, there is a variety of ways to change this perception and allow law departments to collaborate with business clients to add to the company’s bottom line. This panel will examine some of the programs and strategies that in-house counsel can use to reduce legal spend and generate revenue. Topics discussed will include affirmative recovery programs (for example, monitoring contractual performance and intellectual property infringement), third-party litigation financing, licensing IP or other valuable assets, investments in new technology, and creative legal matter staffing. This panel will also examine how to build relationships with business clients to create and implement successful programs involving them and how to track and communicate law department profitability and performance.
