    About Wade Clark Mulcahy
    Founded in 1994, WCM is a regional litigation firm with offices in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

    WCM is first and foremost a firm of trial lawyers. Our attorneys recognize that, at the end of the day, a case may need to be tried to a judge or jury. Therefore, unlike many law firms, we never lose sight of the fact that we need to be able to convincingly tell our client’s story. We take this responsibility seriously and it is why so many of our senior attorneys are former prosecutors or government counsel. More importantly, our narrative focus sharpens our ability to hone in on the key issues in any case and not get lost in the details. This focus not only makes for better lawyering, but it also increases the efficiency of our handling of our clients’ cases.

    WCM is further able to harness our focus on telling the clients’ story into sound, practical advice to our clients when we are asked to provide counsel. We are forever cognizant that many strategies and tactics that look good on paper cannot stand up to the reality of convincing a judge or jury. Our attorneys pride themselves on implementing strategies and tactics that will work, not that simply sound good in the abstract.

    Abstract
    To benefit from the European Commission’s adequacy determination, U.S. based companies need to join the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework and are obliged to self-certify to the Department of Commerce and to publicly commit their compliance with the Framework’s requirements. Companies should strongly consider obtaining the certification since the European privacy laws are substantially stricter than those in the U.S.

    A Privacy Shield certification is critical in sidestepping investigations and fines.

    In this LIVE Webcast, a panel of distinguished professionals and thought leaders brought together by The Knowledge Group will help businesses obtaining personal data from European citizens to understand the important aspects of the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield certification as well as best compliance practices to avoid potential risks and pitfalls.

    Key topics include:
    -The EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework
    -Adequacy Determination
    -European Privacy Laws
    -The Privacy Shield Certification – How to Get Started
    -Best Compliance Practices
