Trump and Health-Care - 1-1/2 units - March 7, 2017

How will the Trump Administration Impact Health-Care Litigation? 

Sponsored by Bloomberg BNA and Manatt, Phelps & Phillips LLP

Donald Trump has vowed to eliminate the Affordable Care Act (ACA)—and the repeal and replace process has begun. The Senate has introduced reconciliation instructions that leave most ACA provisions with a budget impact on the table.  The debate continues to rage. Whatever the outcome--whether an outright repeal or a partial rollback-- significant changes would be triggered in existing health-care law.  How will health-care litigation be affected?  Manatt’s new webinar provides the answer.

The webinar begins with an analysis of the current state, setting the context with a detailed update on   politics, policies and procedures.  We explore the latest information on where repeal and replace efforts stand…the major ACA provisions that are at risk vs. those likely to remain…vehicles for change…likely legislative and administrative actions…and the implications for the key stakeholders.   The program then delves into how coming changes will affect health-care litigation across a wide range of critical areas, from existing lawsuits around health-care access and services to fraud and abuse litigation to federal vs. state regulation of health insurance.

With potentially major changes on the horizon, the health-care environment is increasingly volatile and uncertain.  The webinar provides critical new insights to ensure participants can anticipate and plan for the transformative changes ahead--and the ramifications for litigation.

When Data Preservation Goes Wrong - March 9, 2017

When Data Preservation Goes Wrong 

Sponsored by Inside Counsel and Zapproved

Special notice:
Although this webinar does not specially mention CLE credit, one of the presenters works for Crowell & Moring which holds California provider no. 1898.  You may wish to document this data as you may not receive a participation certificate.

Despite best efforts, data preservation sometimes doesn't go as planned – there are many factors that can obstruct a well-intentioned e-discovery process. So what happens if preservation fails? VW’s in-house attorneys’ blunders on a litigation hold can teach the entire industry how to prevent similar missteps. Creating a data mitigation process that maps out ways to reliably find, tag, relocate and secure relevant data in easy-to-discover places is key. Evolving preservation and device policies to keep pace with the cloud and emerging digital formats is also essential.

Join this complimentary webcast and you will learn not only how to prevent mistakes, but also the best way to come clean if something does go wrong and how to repair the damage. The panel will explore the VW case and detail best practices, including:

• Common areas where preservation breaks down and how to avoid them
• Policies and procedures to proactively manage risks
• What to do reactively if something does go wrong in your process

Emerging Growth Company IPOs - March 14, 2017

The Future of Emerging Growth Company IPOs in the New Administration

Sponsored by Bloomberg BNA and Vintage, a PR Newswire division,  a top provider of regulatory compliance and shareholder communications services

The JOBS Act contains various provisions designed to encourage and help emerging-growth companies (EGCs) to go public.  The Act has decreased lead times, permitted confidential filings, and opened up investment opportunities to these smaller but fast growing companies.

Actions of the new Trump administration have caused market fluctuations that will certainly impact emerging growth markets.  What does this mean for EGCs with plans to go public?  How will the provisions of the JOBS Act be affected, if at all?  What should EGCs, and their legal and financial advisors, take into consideration as they contemplate and prepare for IPOs under the new administration?

Join us for this essential 60-minute webinar, where our panelists will discuss these questions and much more as EGCs – and their advisors – plan for 2017 and beyond.

Cross-Border Data Protection Update - March 22, 2017

Live Across the Globe: Cross-Border Data Protection Update  

Sponsored by Bloomberg BNA and kCura, developers of Relativity

*** Please note the early time

As companies are engaging more in electronic data transfers across international borders, legal departments must focus on increased risks that these organizations are exposed from international laws and regulations – as well as an increased risk of hacks.  Navigating the data protection frameworks – or lack thereof – that international governments have implemented can cause confusion and uncertainty, but legal leaders must ensure that effective information governance programs are in place to protect company and client data.

Join us for this 60-minute program where our panelists will discuss major data protection frameworks across the globe, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Privacy Shield, and US data protection initiatives, amongst others.  Our panelists will explore strategies for navigating differing and conflicting data protection laws, and provide strategies for designing an information governance program, including crisis communications considerations, to ensure that company and client data is protected when being transferred across international borders.
