The Legal Hackers meet once a month with fellow practitioners, students, educators and entrepreneurs to explore new ideas and build a thriving legal hacking community in Los Angeles. By now you're probably heard about multiple large hacking events at Target, Neiman Marcus, Sony, and Anthem. Privacy and data security are becoming ever increasing problems for all companies--not just for Fortune 500 companies--but even for startups. In fact, we've already seen Facebook and Uber singled out for their privacy practices.
The Legal Hackers upcoming event focuses on what issues high tech founders should consider in regards to information security, privacy, and compliance when launching their business.
