LXBN TV: The State of Women in the Legal Workplace and Advice for Young Female Lawyers—Victoria Pynchon

Posted on May 15, 2012 by Colin O'Keefe

Everyday I look over countless posts on LXBN written by talented female lawyers at prominent AmLaw 200 firms.

Attorney-mediator Victoria Pynchon, author of the She Negotiates blog on Forbes and the Negotiation Law Blog on LXBN, joins us to explain the numbers, find the silver lining and hand out some excellent actionable guidance for young female lawyers.  Full Story

LXBN TV: Lessons Learned from Viacom’s $1 Billion Suit Against YouTube—Baker Hostetler’s Jerry Ferguson

Posted on May 14, 2012 by Colin O'Keefe

The Second Circuit recently reinstated Viacom’s massive suit against YouTube, a case that goes all the way back to 2007. Because the case is so old, Viacom’s copyright infringement claims really apply just to the YouTube of that time period, around 2005 and 2005, not the more mature company we see now. That said, there are many companies out there who survive on protection under the DMCA that aren’t too dissimilar to the YouTube of yesteryear. To explain lessons these companies might learn from this Viacom/Youtube tiff, we bring back Baker Hostetler partner Jerry Ferguson, author on their Data Privacy Monitor. Full Story

Posted on May 11, 2012 by Colin O'Keefe

When Health & Human services goes after medical institutions for HIPAA violations, ones that comes as a result of not being careful enough with patients personal health information, they’re usually going after big-time hospitals.

Posted on May 7, 2012 by Jared Sulzdorf

Even though I’d “met” some of the presenters, attendees and sponsors through Twitter, LinkedIn, or their blogs before sitting down to interview them, there’s still something about knowing the person before you talk to them.  So after interviewing nearly every sponsor and presenter at Avvocating 2012, it was nice to see a familiar face on camera.  As Avvocating 2012 came to a close, Kevin McKewon, President of LexBlog, swung by to talk about LexBlog’s partnership with Avvo, his favorite presenter, and what LexBlog is working on to enhance the presence of our clients online.

Recapping the Very Best of Avvocating 2012: LXBN Editors Colin O’Keefe & Jared Sulzdorf

Posted on May 6, 2012 by Colin O'Keefe

Jared and I came into Avvocating 2012 with very high expectations for the conference. From the topics covered to the speakers who would be covering—who came from both inside and out of the legal profession—we knew the lineup would provide us with a wealth of ideas and guidance that wouldn’t only make for great content to share outside the conference, but be enjoyable to cover as well. In the end, it was even better than expected. As we sign off from Avvocating 2012, we discuss why the conference exceeded expectations, what speakers we enjoyed the most and then what’s next for LXBN.  Full Story
