In today's dynamic business landscape, technology issues are an integral part of nearly every commercial transaction, not just those explicitly labelled as "tech deals." As counsel, you need to be prepared to identify and address the legal and strategic challenges that arise from technology's role in a wide range of agreements.

This one-day course will provide a practical overview of the core issues involved, giving you a solid foundation to advise clients effectively on a wide range of technology-related deal components.

At the course, participants will explore key topics such as intellectual property, data privacy, service level agreements, warranties, confidentiality, and liability considerations. The program emphasizes practical strategies for navigating complex negotiations, managing common pitfalls, and safeguarding client interests in a technology-driven environment.

Designed for lawyers involved in diverse transactions, this course aims to enhance your ability to structure, negotiate, and manage technology components within commercial deals confidently and competently.

Law Society of BC CPD Hours: 6 hours (this course will contain a minimum of 1 hour pertaining to professional responsibility and ethics, client care and relations, and/or practice management)
