Overview

Why You Should Attend

In many ways, 2014 was the year that highlighted privacy and security issues involving electronic information. As revelations of massive data breaches and the loss of private information became public, both regulators and corporate entities grappled with the consequences of those revelations and the investigations that followed.  At the same time, regulators and corporations continued to deal with the challenges of the ever-increasing volumes of electronic information that are relevant to all types of government investigations.  These important trends will continue in 2015 and beyond.

Our faculty, which includes judges, regulators, and attorneys experienced in government investigations, will address these issues as well as the “how and why” of government investigations and corporate responses. They will use panel presentations on general topics as well as specific case studies to guide you through this dynamic and growing field of law.

What You Will Learn

Many issues arise from the pervasiveness of electronic information in the context of government investigations. This program will address these issues and other questions:

  • What triggers a government investigation?
  • What is the scope of a government investigation?
  • What are the limitations on a government investigation?
  • What might the government demand in an investigation and how might a corporate entity respond to such a demand?
  • What room for negotiation exists between a corporate entity and the government?
  • What is the role of -- and relationship between -- parallel civil proceedings and government investigations, and how might they be coordinated?

Who Should Attend

This program will be of interest to in-house and retained counsel, corporate officers and other personnel, consultants, and service providers who find themselves involved in investigations by federal or state regulators, as well as in parallel civil proceedings. Likewise, the program will be of great benefit to the staff of agencies who conduct investigations as well as attorneys who litigate parallel proceedings as either plaintiffs or defendants.
