In October, Osler’s Montréal office hosted the firm’s second annual Privacy Conference, organized by the Privacy and Data Management team. The half-day program, followed by a networking lunch, brought together industry experts and in-house counsel to discuss a range of hot topics, including the implementation of amendments introduced by Law 25, emerging litigation trends, artificial intelligence governance, new technologies, and cybersecurity.
