These informative sessions will bring you quickly up to speed on the latest developments in the following topics.
Data & Data Loss: With 81% of large businesses experiencing some form of security breach last year and the recent CEO's resignation of retailing grant target following the theft of 40 million sets of credit card details, data issues have never been higher on the corporate agenda. Stuart James will provide practical tips on preparing for and dealing with data loss/breach based on recent client experiences, as well as an update on the latest key changes in regulatory guidance and progress on the proposed European data protection reforms and the impact they will have on your business.
Litigation: Simon Garbett will consider cyber and data breach issues from a litigation perspective, including some practical and strategic considerations for businesses to bear in mind to minimise the impact of cyber risks.
Employment: Ramez Moussa will provide a round-up of current employment related hot topics, including the latest on the holiday pay cases which have the potential of significantly impacting any UK business which pays overtime, commission, shift allowances or other similar payments linked to the performance of duties, and the new complex shared parental regime which is coming into force on 5 April 2015.
Consumer Law: The past 12 months have seen a host of changes to consumer protection rights, including increased rights of cancellation and redress, with further changes on the way. Russell Kelsall will provide an overview of the current consumer protection landscape focusing on the recent changes, on-line marketing, the new Consumer Rights Bill and the practical steps that businesses should be taking to ensure compliance.
This is a complimentary seminar and will provide you with 2 CPD points.
We look forward to seeing you at one of the sessions.
