Due to the nature of its content, this on-demand Webcast is not eligible for CLE/CPD credit.
Legal departments are experiencing an unprecedented period of change. The Covid-19 pandemic led to the rise in remote work, privacy regulations are increasing in their scope and complexity, and enterprise digital transformation is accelerating, all causing vast transformations in the way work gets done. In-house legal departments are now front and center in this new environment, increasingly facing the pressure to drive greater value, align the once independent legal function with the mission of the business, and orient its focus toward improved customer service delivery.
Hear from our panelists as they discuss the top takeaways from a recent survey project titled: Trends in Legal Transformation and Technology Report, which captures insights from a survey of 278 law department leaders and legal operations professionals on how they have engaged in transformation within their departments, the kinds of initiatives they have focused on with respect to their investigations and litigation work, the barriers experienced, and the keys to success.

The Dos and Don'ts of Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) (Nov 9, 2023)
The Dos and Don'ts of Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) (Nov 9, 2023) a.ouko@acc.comOn-Demand
Companies are signing NDAs all the time, and they frequently have an international component. NDAs are not all the same. Before a company signs one, it should understand the significance "the risks, dangers, and benefits" of the typical provisions in an NDA and thus why a company may want a particular provision to read one way or instead another or to be omitted all together.
