Dentons hosted a complimentary informative discussion on establishing priorities and managing budgeting considerations for your legal spend on Tuesday, November 24, 2020.

The impending privacy changes across Canada will almost certainly mean increased compliance costs for businesses, as well as increased risk. Among other things, organizations will likely need to review and revise policies, unbundle consents, explore exceptions to consent, implement mechanisms and controls around new data rights such as data portability and deletion, and hire a privacy officer or significantly expand their role. Expected new enforcement powers at both the federal and provincial levels will mean increased exposure for companies, as well as demands from management and boards to address risk.

Our presenters addressed the following questions:

How do you prioritize your projects?
Where should your legal spend go?
How do you build your business case for budget?
What resources do you need?
