Preserving Attorney-Client Privilege When Responding to a Cybersecurity Breach
|
You are the CEO of a small or medium-sized company and someone from your IT team runs to your office, pale-faced, to tell you that the company's network has been hacked. They don't know how the penetration occurred, when, or whether any data or confidential material has been stolen. Who do you call first? Your cyber forensic expert? The cybersecurity consultant you hired to help fortify your systems? The Board of Directors? No, your first call should be to your attorney.

By Kelly Canavan, Esq. |
Have you ever taken a look at the deed to your home and wondered, "What does it mean and what does it do?" You have spent a large sum of money at the closing table and signed voluminous amounts of mortgage documents, only to walk away with a piece of paper that gets recorded in the Clerk's office in the County where the property is located. But this piece of paper is filled with more information than meets the eye.

Focus on Long-Term Care: Activities of Daily Living
|
Most people go around and take care of their everyday business without ever realizing how independent they are. Only when you have trouble doing something do you realize that you used to do it before. For a younger person, this can come when you injure yourself and may have limited use of an arm or a leg. Unfortunately, this also comes with age.

| Campolo to Present at LIBI Lunch & Learn |
Ten years ago, Joe Campolo was months away from launching the law firm that would become Campolo, Middleton & McCormick when Keith Ferrazzi's bestseller
Never Eat Alone and Other Secrets to Success, One Relationship at a Time was first published. Trying to broaden his focus from the very niche tech space he had just left, Campolo knew he needed to build a network - so he bought a copy of
Never Eat Alone and used it as a framework to build his network, one relationship at a time. In this talk, Campolo revisits the book a decade later, exploring what he learned, what worked, what didn't, and how his networking has evolved over the years. Learn how to put your own network to work for you with this personal look at powerful networking strategies.
Please join us for the presentation on Wednesday, May 31 at the LIBI Office, 1757 #8 Veterans Memorial Highway, Islandia. Registration begins at 11:45 a.m. The event is free but registration is a must. Please rsvp to jen@libi.org.
