Consent underpins the legal regimes of both copyright and privacy, but consent is becoming increasingly elusive online. How do we determine what is protected and the extent to which it is protected? How do we safeguard privileged client materials? These and many other issues will be explored on UCL Faculty of Laws’ acclaimed two-day CPD course for lawyers and company executives who deal with personal data, IP or the media, on 11 and 12 February 2019. ‘Privacy and Data: Law and Practice’ features presentations from international cyber security experts, cryptographers, child protection experts, law enforcement experts, and internationally respected lawyers and policymakers.
