Consumer Data Privacy – An Evolving Landscape
Grayson J. Derrick & AriAnna C. Goldstein
Despite the introduction of an unprecedented number of data privacy bills in Congress over the past two years, progress towards the enactment of a comprehensive federal law protecting personal information remains elusive. Several states, however, have passed privacy laws, thereby creating a patchwork of compliance obligations for businesses to learn and manage. Gray and Ari will outline the recent legislative activity in this important space, and provide guidance on how you can comply with today’s varying privacy laws.

Employees as Competitors: What Ever Happened to Loyalty?
