The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“the Act”) was signed into law on June 28, 2018 and formerly goes into effect beginning January 1, 2020. How is the ACT the same and how is it different than GDPR? What does the ACT entail and will there be a boom of litigation? How can organizations protect themselves? These and other questions will be answered in this dynamic presentation.
About Our Speaker
Jennifer Martin, Partner, Orrick, Partner Cyber, Privacy & Data Innovation, White Collar, Investigations, Securities Litigation & Compliance counsels clients on complying with cybersecurity regulatory expectations and best practices across industries, including for large critical infrastructure companies in the technology, energy, health care, financial, and transportation sectors. She focuses on a range of cybersecurity projects for clients, including advising on cybersecurity program compliance and resiliency on an industry-by-industry basis; managing significant security incidents and providing cross-disciplinary incident response planning; drafting commercial contract terms and requirements for purchasers and vendors as part of managing cybersecurity risk; and conducting cybersecurity due diligence in M&A transactions. Jennifer’s holistic, company-wide incident response planning and risk management counseling are informed by more than 18 years of handling significant cyber incidents from a variety of legal and technical perspectives. She has significant experience managing the response and investigation into sophisticated cybersecurity attacks impacting systems and information, including those attributable to nation-states, insider thefts of intellectual property, and data breaches of all sizes and significance. She works directly with personnel at all levels of an impacted organization and across disciplines, including directly with IT security personnel, to ensure coordinated and protected response investigations. As a former federal prosecutor, she is also frequently involved in coordinating with law enforcement and government agencies in a range of cybersecurity matters.

Title: eDiscovery Meditation Session
Date: Thursday, Dec. 13th
Time: Noon – 1:30pm
Location: Dentons (1221 6th Ave. New York, NY 10020)
eDiscovery work + holidays + 20 degree wind chill = STRESS. For December's WiE meeting, we invite you to take a mini break and learn some rejuvenating meditation practices led by Victoria Davis.
Victoria began studying meditation in 2012 after years of movement & yoga practices. She began teaching in New York City in 2015 and has since spent countless hours practicing and teaching across the US and internationally.
With a teaching style heavily informed by her own meditation & yoga practices, offerings are customized to company culture and personal need. Relaxation and mental acuity are invaluable high points, as sustainable performance and innovation are built upon a foundation of balance and ease.
Bonus! We will be raffling off a signed copy of Sarah Cooper's newest book: "How to Be Successful Without Hurting Men's Feelings"
