    Privacy Enforcement
    It’s been ten years since the General Data Protection Regulations were passed. In those ten years, twenty states in the United States have passed their own individual consumer data protection laws, including the state of Texas nearly three years ago. We now look back and study enforcement trends to help our clients prepare for what lies ahead. This panel presentation provides an update about, among other activities, the focus of Consortium of Privacy Regulators and the FTC’s partnership with several state regulators.

    The Green Code Meets the Black Letter

    When it comes to environmental sustainability, companies are not only tasked with listening to the federal and state governments, they must also consider their stockholders, employees, and the communities in which they operate, not to mention general public opinion. In a climate where environmental regulations can change drastically from one administration to the next, finding a north star (and effectively communicating it) is critical. This is of even greater importance for the technology sector, which has the ability to simultaneously contribute to and help mitigate or solve environmental issues.
