In this issue of Today’s General Counsel, Matthew C. Welnicki and Michael P. Dickman discuss some issues that can arise in the context of virtual legal relationships. In her column, Andrea Bricca advises in-house attorneys looking to move up to GC or CEO to forge a solid relationship with the legal operations function at their company, and in a must-read for many law departments, Michael Littenberg and Marc Rotter’s discuss what they say is arguably “the most significant expansion of the SEC’s disclosure and compliance regime for reporting companies in decades.” Peter Halprin and Tae Andrews provide an overview of disputes about whether general liability insurance covers penalties imposed because of biometric privacy violations, and Steve Shropshire suggests getting ahead of inevitable rulemaking about corporate water footprints. This issue also includes several articles that deal with a subject of increasing interest to in-house legal departments: managing contracts and how to mine the data they contain.
