As more ‘every-day’ companies intersect with non-traditional finance, digital assets and AI and data-driven platforms and services, we are seeing many more clients coming to us for assessments and audits of their policies and procedures, as they increasingly discover vulnerabilities that are being exposed by a growing number of internal/external pressures, including frauds and data breaches. Join Katie Mills (Los Angeles) and Benjamin Bathgate (Toronto), and Javier Alvarez (New York), Managing Director, Forensics Digital Assets Leader for an inside look at how in-house compliance and litigation risk assessments are changing with these new pressures, and how your legal, risk and compliance departments may need to evolve to keep pace!

• How to Risk-Rate – the Enhanced Due Diligence Process and Proactive Risk Identification Tips

Anyone who has the responsibility to lead a team, knows that a leader’s performance is measured by a simple and direct parameter: results.

To have technical skills or knowledge, experience or many years doing a job, it’s totally different to have the capacity to exert effective leadership. To accomplish this, there is a need to develop specific skills and attitudes that can assure an adequate fulfillment of goals and the establishment of a productive working environment.

This program will be hosted in English.

Is 2023 the year when the US finally shifts to a rights-based regime for protecting personal information? Perhaps! We are now beyond the CCPA and even the CPRA. We have 10 state comprehensive consumer privacy laws governing the use of personal information, and more are expected to pass this year. The continuing promulgation of these consumer privacy laws make it clear the US is going through a fundamental shift in its philosophy about data privacy. Join us to learn about what these news laws are trying to protect, where they are coming from, and how to create a foundation from which to analyze and understand their requirements. We will also discuss how to create a flexible compliance program that accounts for the rapidly evolving privacy landscape.
