Please join the International Law Section of the State Bar of Georgia on Tuesday, November 2nd from 12 to 1 p.m. for a fascinating online program that will examine Canada’s Privacy Laws.

Speakers:

• Lisa R. Lifshitz, Partner and Chair, Technology, Privacy and Data Management Group, Torkin Manes LLP

Doing business in next-door Canada seems deceptively easy given our shared language, common cultural references and similar legal traditions. However, there are differences, particularly regarding privacy and Canada’s anti-spam law (CASL) which is the most onerous in the world. At the same time, Canada’s privacy laws are also changing, in response to global efforts including the GDPR and the CCPA. The panelists, consisting of both Canadian and US attorneys, discuss the current state of Canadian privacy/anti-spam laws applicable to US companies doing business in Canada, including potential pitfalls and issues and how to mitigate them.

What you’ll takeaway:

• Privacy and anti-spam laws specific to doing business in Canada, including which laws govern employees and cross-border data transfers.

• The current state of Canadian privacy reform, including federal privacy law initiatives and those in key provinces (Quebec and Ontario)

• Proactive risk mitigation and compliance strategies
