JISC Legal - Web 2.0 Senior Managers Workshops - Liability and Law

The online booking forms are now available for the JISC Legal - Web 2.0 Senior Managers Workshops
Liability and Law in association with Maclay Murray & Spens LLP http://www.mms.co.uk/.

The content of these concise events is directed at those individuals who are making strategic decisions
with regard to Web 2.0. The aim is to provide sufficient knowledge of the legal risks associated with
Web 2.0 use at institutions to enable senior managers to be able to assess whether the legal safeguards
which they already have in place are sufficient to withstand the new demands of Web 2.0. With a number
of legal measures in place an institution will be better protected should difficulties arise.
