A paralegal who manages contracts, at minimum, must be well-versed in the law, contractual terms, and budgets while possessing superior time management and communication skills. Moreover, as this course will demonstrate, a paralegal with these proven skills has the ability to work between many sectors including academia, government, large corporations, and small businesses. Use this course to acquire foundational knowledge required to manage contracts regardless of where you work.

Every minute of every day, companies are generating millions of digital documents filled with sensitive information. With the competitive environment, mergers and acquisitions, and other company transactions, they are also required to share more data than ever before. Important questions to ask are the following: What is identifying information? How can it be discovered, as well as completely scrubbed, from the data? What are the ramifications of releasing sensitive content?

What techniques do you need to research the open web and commercial databases?  What are the rules regarding searching – especially public records? How should you create search strings? How do you select the appropriate content or material to search? All of this, and more, will be covered in this webinar.
