Description

Director's Technology Handbook: Tips and Strategies for Advising Corporate Directors Candace M Jones ISBN 9781641059244

This Handbook is an essential resource for boards of directors and trustees, as well as the lawyers who advise them, offering practical guidance on identifying technology-related issues and understanding their legal implications. Beginning with a concise overview of directors’ duties under Delaware corporate law, the Handbook features clear, accessible chapters that minimize legal jargon while highlighting the critical intersections between law and technology.

Recognizing that technology is constantly evolving, the authors use illustrative examples to address issues likely to remain relevant over time, even as specific technologies change. While the context in which these challenges arise will continue to evolve, the underlying legal and governance considerations are enduring.

Designed as a quick-reference guide, each chapter is concise and structured with brief background explanations and key questions to help readers approach technology as a pervasive, persistent, and evolving force. Written by leading practitioners in their respective fields, the Handbook covers topics such as:

  • The lawyer’s role in advising boards on technology issues

  • Fiduciary duties of corporate directors

  • Regulatory compliance and compliance risk

  • Cross-border considerations, including key legal issues when doing business with Canada

  • Contracts, contract management, and licensing agreements

  • Cloud computing fundamentals

  • Acquiring technology assets

  • International privacy laws

  • Board-level oversight of cybersecurity risks

  • Practical tips for lawyers to engage effectively with clients on technology

  • And more
