Crafting a solution to Schrems II: Is a permanent fix possible?

On July 16, the EU’s highest court once again delivered a bombshell data protection ruling by annulling the EU-US Privacy Shield. The Schrems II decision has many US companies—including big tech giants like Facebook and Microsoft—trying to figure out what’s next.

Officials from both sides of the Atlantic face a significantly different landscape from the last time the EU court annulled a trans-Atlantic data deal in 2015. A presidential election year with the prospect of a power transition in Congress will add to the uncertainty. As negotiators try to reconcile the crisis, MLex is following every unfolding development.

In this webinar, MLex data protection experts Mike Swift and Matthew Newman will be joined by an expert panel to discuss the fallout from the court’s ruling and the mitigating factors that may influence how to resolve this vexing issue.
