When purchasing a firm broadcast ticket, you assume the role of facilitator. As a facilitator, you may broadcast a livestream or webinar to your designated group of viewers as well as download and distribute materials.

Upskill in Microsoft Word.

This 12-part webinar series delivers practical knowledge and hands-on skills so you can draft, edit, and format documents with confidence in Microsoft Word.

Each part is a stand-alone session. The content does not build on previous sessions, so you can attend (or watch the on-demand program) the part(s) that interest you and in any order that suits your needs.

This week's feature paper from LESA's complimentary Practice Management collection is: 'Cyberspace, Cybersecurity and IT Contracting: the Next Frontier'

As organizations shift their business models to take advantage of technology advances like mobile computing and cloud storage, they become more susceptible to the growing spectre of cyber-attacks. The Office of the Privacy Commissioner stated that privacy protection increasingly relies on cyber security implementation. This paper provides a framework to aid the process of identifying and working with competent IT service providers through explaining the fundamentals of developing an effective IT services agreement. The author focuses on three key aspects: understanding the client’s cyber-risk profile, due diligence of the service provider, and effective use of contractual provisions.
