In this call, legal expert Tanya Forsheit will discuss key topics that will impact contract and legal professionals in the US in 2010.
First, we will build on Cloud Computing Part 1 (January 21st) and get a US perspective on the contract and commercial issues for buyers and providers. Then we will move to data protection and the increasing patchwork of regulations being introduced at both State and Federal level.
Anyone doing business in the US will benefit from these insights.
