Description
PRODUCT COUNSELING: ACTIONABLE LEGAL ADVICE FOR TECH COMPANIES
In this course, students will explore the principles and real-life challenges of guiding software product development teams toward legal compliance. We will explore the structure of modern technology companies and their rapidly changing, highly scaled, and global nature, and through lecture and simulated exercises, test our learnings in a wide range of substantive legal areas. Practice problems and guest speakers will help students to build the skills to collaborate with and persuade engineers, designers, and product managers. Because the Bay Area (and the world) is dominated by companies organized around these principles and topics, this course aims to provide students with a leg up in hiring discussions. There are no prerequisites, though prior coursework relating to compliance, business law, data privacy, cybersecurity, internet law, client counseling or technology would be useful and relevant.
