Kilpatrick Townsend attorneys Sonia Baldia and Jeff Connell recently presented at the “Association of Corporate Counsel Dallas-Fort Worth: 2023 Annual In-House Symposium” in Frisco, Texas. As businesses continue to accelerate cloud adoption and digital transformation efforts, in-house legal counsel must protect one of their company’s most valuable assets: data. Data is an increasingly complex topic that permeates throughout various provisions of a potential cloud transaction, and navigating the contractual controls is largely dependent on the applicable cloud solution or technology at hand, whether SaaS, IaaS, or PaaS. Their session offered practical guidance on how to effectively navigate the risks inherent to data and provide strategies to negotiate cloud agreements that better address and protect valuable data.
