Sessions include:
Biometric Privacy And You – What Companies Need to Know About the Risks and Rewards of this Revolutionary Technology with Jeffrey Rosenthal, Partner, Blank Rome LLP
Once the stuff of science fiction, biometric technology—which can identify individuals based on unique characters like their face, fingerprint, voice, etc.—has proliferated modern life. Whether it’s unlocking the smartphone in your pocket, using your face as your ticket at the airport, or the fingerprint scanner at your warehouse, biometric technology has changed the way employees and consumers access services and perform their job functions. But with massive settlements and a recent 9-figure class action verdict for plaintiffs, violating these privacy laws can be devastating to companies. This program will discuss various uses of biometric technology, the current legal landscape, compliance pointers, and ways to spot and avoid the pitfalls that have sent companies reeling from large, unexpected liability.
Estate Planning for the Business as an Asset with Andrew Haas, Partner, Blank Rome LLP
A business is often the most important, and most valuable, asset to an entrepreneur. This program will provide options for how to treat a business in a properly structured estate plan as well as explore some lifetime planning opportunities as the business value grows over time.
Startup to Scale-up: Strategies for Protecting Confidential Information, Customers, Employee & Goodwill with Leigh Ann Buziak, Partner, Blank Rome LLP
This program will discuss how companies can protect their investments in their most valuable assets – confidential information, customers, employees, and goodwill – as they scale their businesses. The session will cover a range of best practices to maximize the protection of confidential information, including critical contractual protections as well as practical advice. It will also cover the latest developments in non-compete law following the FTC’s proposed ban, strategies for shoring up and protecting valuable customer, supplier, contractor, and employee relationships, and mitigating the risks when hiring from a competitor.
