Next Generation Compliance Issues in Outsourcing
October 25, 2006
Webinar
Global call centers, data processing warehouses, and e-record and e-signature applications raise significant compliance issues concerning the cross-border transfer of data, record retention, the destruction of paper original documents, the validity and acceptability of electronic signatures, and a range of other "next generation" compliance issues. Cutting across all of these issues is also the complex question of whether - as between the parties - the sourcing provider or the customer should bear primary responsibility for identifying and ensuring compliance with these all-too-often-overlooked legal requirements. This session is presented by Michael Mensik and Brian Hengesbaugh of Baker & McKenzie. All webinars will begin at 12:00 P.M. US Central Time and last 60 minutes. MCLE Credit is available for the states of California, Texas, New York, and Florida, and pending for Illinois.
