The European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) comes into force on 25th May 2018. GDPR brings many organisations and businesses in India within the reach of EU data regulators, with significantly increased financial penalties, reaching up to 4% of an organisation’s global annual turnover or €20 million (whichever is the higher).  European Regulators have an extensive toolkit of sanctions, including the ability to issue business-ending “stop now” orders to prevent or suspend the processing of personal data in breach of GDPR. GDPR applies to any organisation, wherever incorporated or established, operating within Europe, or marketing goods or services to European data subjects.  It restricts the transfer of personal data outside Europe, and includes provisions that can compel organisations to make a hard choice between breaching GDPR or breaching the laws of other jurisdictions. In this workshop, we examine the key concepts and compliance requirements of GDPR, helping you to avoid financial penalties while ensuring that business-critical data flows can continue. The Training program will help you with rapid compliance and a level two knowledge update on GDPR.

This three day training program covers the basic requirements for protecting each type of intangible asset, highlights the sources of authority that govern intellectual property law, explains what types of rights are available, introduces what constitutes infringement, discusses the defenses available for infringement and lists the types of remedies used to compensate an owner for infringement.

English contract law is widely used in international transactions across a variety of jurisdictions, particularly where the deal involves parties based in India, the Middle East, Singapore Hong Kong, China or Russia. It is flexible, adaptable and practical when dealing with rapidly evolving technology, markets and financial structures, yet its principles are clear and well-established. English contract law allows parties to set out obligations and allocate risk in a way that will be consistently interpreted and enforced by courts and arbitral tribunals.
