Scott & Scott, LLP Sponsor Ethical Considerations for Software Audits CLE Webinar
Southlake, Texas (PRWEB) September 11, 2013 -- Software audit defense law firm, Scott & Scott, LLP, is sponsoring a free CLE (Texas and California Bar*) Webinar: Ethical Considerations for Software Audits.
Software audits initiated by software publishers and trade associations such as The Business Software Alliance (“BSA”) and Software & Industry Information Association (“SIIA”) are on the rise. A company should be aware of the implications of the process and strategy decisions related to how the data is collected.

The webinar will address important considerations for companies facing a software audit and strategies for protecting the audit materials from being used at trial in the event settlement is not reached. The latest court cases addressing privilege protections afforded to records and audit data will be referenced.
During the Ethical Considerations for Software Audits webinar, attendees will learn:
• Details and Process for Software Audits
• Ethical Implications for a Network Inventory and Audit Results
• Attorney-Client Privilege
• Work Product Privilege
• Exceptions to Privilege
• Key Cases Regarding Privilege for Software Audit Results
• The Role of Rule 408 Managing Software Compliance
