Episode Details

Major cyber and data incidents now trigger a widening set of consequences, including regulator action, complex litigation including class actions, and reputational fallout. Organisations are increasingly judged on how well they anticipate and respond.

Our panel unpacks the fast-evolving disputes landscape at the intersection of privacy, cyber incidents, regulatory enforcement, and class actions. Her Honour Justice Kate Richardson, barrister Nicholas De Young KC and Mallesons litigators explore:
• where claims are developing, and what new claims are expected to emerge from recent law reform
• what is driving regulator action and plaintiff activity in Australia, and
• the practical steps organisations can take before, during and after a significant privacy incident to prepare for and manage anticipated litigation.

A timely session for in-house lawyers, boards and senior executives, offering a clear view of where privacy risk is heading and how privacy incidents can develop into complex material litigation with a long tail.

Speakers:
• The Honourable Justice Kate Richardson, Supreme Court of New South Wales
• Nicholas De Young KC, Barrister
• Peta Stevenson, Partner, Mallesons
• James Russell, Partner, Mallesons
