Overview

Why you should attend

Legal issues arising from technology have become a routine part of many lawyers’ daily practices. Technology issues arise in clients’ daily contracts, business negotiations and litigation. Lawyers, who often have no technical training, are required by court rules to report on their client’s technology infrastructure so that a judge may address electronic discovery issues. The proliferation of technology into every aspect of commerce requires that their counsel understand how the client’s increasingly complex technology works and the legal issues created by these innovations in a client’s business.

The lawyer who understands his or her client’s technology will stand out as a respected counselor who can be given challenging and complex issues. The technology-savvy lawyer will have a decided advantage in negotiating contracts or litigating intellectual property or business issues.
