Join Lokke Moerel and Kaylee Cox Bankston from Morrison Foerster to learn what you need to know about international data transfers. Lokke and Kaylee will explore the US and EU international data transfer regimes in detail, and how lawyers and clients can best navigate these complex regimes in these changing geo-policital times. The EU data transfer regime has started out as a protection of fundamental privacy rights of individuals but is now becoming a tool in the EU’s ambition for digital sovereignty. Lokke will discuss why the EU’s digital sovereignty is under threat, what the chances are the EU-US Data Privacy Framework will be invalidated, how EU policy measures will facilitate open data spaces for AI innovation while ensuring EU sovereignty by introducing further transfer regimes (basically amounting to data localization requirements) and how Big Tech is responding with EU cloud boundaries. The session will end with recommendations for how to navigate this complex legal landscape. Don’t miss this excellent program!
