The EU Transfer Two-Step: Mastering the Ever-Changing Data Dance
E-discovery experts at ILTACON, including Consilio’s Ben Rusch, discussed how to navigate the changing EU data transfer landscape and make regulations work for you.
Preview: Managing data in the European Union has a whole lot of questions, and perhaps not that many answers. Given the rapid shift in regulations from Safe Harbor to the Privacy Shield and beyond, many counsel that rely on the transfer of EU data are left wondering if they can even do their daily jobs. “There are some matters where there are no answers, where you can’t stick your hand up and say, ‘That’s what’s going to happen here.’ … But I don’t want you to go away thinking nothing is possible,” said Chris Dale of the E-Disclosure Information Project. So how can counsel learn the steps to EU data transfer in a regulatory environment where the mood is always changing? Three experts tried to guide the 50-person room on Tuesday at ILTACON. The “Managing Data from the EU During Litigation” panel featured, alongside the moderator Dale, Mollie C. Nichols, a senior attorney at Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton; Ben Rusch, a vice president, review solutions, Europe and APAC at Consilio; and Jonathan Wilan, a partner at Baker McKenzie.
