Kilpatrick Townsend attorneys Sonia Baldia and Jeff Connell recently presented at the “Association of Corporate Counsel National Capital Region Fall Conference: Advanced Topics for In-House Counsel” in Vienna, Virginia. 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 transaction, and navigating the contractual controls is largely dependent on the applicable 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 agreements that better address and protect valuable data.
