Scholarly Lectures/Writings:
- It has been a year since GDPR went into affect. Was it the start of a data protection revolution or a data protection catastrophe? How have data and security practices changed, and what have we learned? How are data protection laws are changing around the globe. After 6-years of negotiations, Brazil has enacted its General Data Protection Law (GDPL), set to take effect in February of 2020. California, the most populous state in the United States, passed the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), which is similarly set to take effect on January 1, 2020. And finally, Russia is in the midst of yet another set of new data protection rules. Join us as we learn about how each of these laws will affect our clients, how to comply, and how to survive. , Moderator, GDPR and its Progeny: Lessons Learned and What to Expect Globally, International Technology Law Association, 2019
