Litigation, in particular, is an area in which most of us have to rely on outside counsel to help shoulder the workload. How do you keep costs down without sacrificing quality? How do you and your outside partners plan and budget for situations that are inherently difficult to predict? The answer is that you can’t, completely, but the first step is making sure that your relationship with your outside firms is solid.

In this increasingly connected world, an international cyberattack is no longer a possibility but an inevitability. The difference between success and catastrophe in defending against international cyberattacks comes down to not just preventing them, but responding quickly and appropriately when one does occur. In-house counsel must be prepared to work with internal clients to anticipate potential consequences of an international cyberattack, mitigate the risks of an attack, and implement an agreed strategy that effectively deals with the business and legal risks. This session will give in-house counsel the tools to have constructive conversations with their company's business leaders and technical teams to ensure that their program for dealing with international cyberattacks fits the needs of the company and the customers it serves and addresses the company's legal obligations relating to the attack.
