Free webinar Wednesday, April 7th: “Cloud Computing and Data Privacy”

As cloud computing catches fire, we urge all Posse List members to learn as much as they can.  Many of our vendor subscribers are seeking attorneys and others with knowledge of cloud computing. 

LDMGlobal had a free webinar on “Cloud Computing in the Legal Environment” Wednesday, April 7th.  It featured partner and Notary Public for Speechly Bircham LLP, Robert Bond.  Mr. Bond is a prominent speaker and writer focusing on data protection and information security.  The discussion focused on considerations for cloud computing, and whether it is ready for use by law firms involved in cross border litigation.

Issues around cloud computing typically focus on control, cost, scalability and security. However clients who want to utilize cloud infrastructures also need to consider how they can comply with privacy laws if, for example, they use the technology in one location with one set of privacy laws, such as the EU, and also in other locations that do not have data privacy compliance issues.
