In today's digital era, where personal data flows with unprecedented speed and volume, the role of Chief Privacy Officers (CPOs), in-house counsel, and compliance professionals has never been more critical — or more complex. This publication aims to provide an analysis of the latest developments in Canadian privacy law, offering valuable insights into the judicial decisions and legal trends shaping privacy law in Canada. By examining key case law and emerging issues, our goal is to equip CPOs with the strategic foresight and expertise necessary to navigate the evolving intersection of legal standards, technological innovation, and business priorities.
Through expert commentary, we explore how organizations can achieve compliance and proactively address the challenges posed by rapidly advancing technologies and shifting regulatory landscapes.
Osler's specialized Privacy Disputes team and National Privacy and Data Management practices regularly collaborate on thought leadership initiatives on the AccessPrivacy by Osler platform to provide integrated insights on privacy and data litigation issues that draw from the expertise of both groups. These include the widely attended Data Litigation Roundtable events on the AccessPrivacy monthly call that complement the Privacy Jurisprudence Review, as well as workshops and roundtables discussing emerging trends in AI and governance.
By combining deep expertise in litigation and privacy law with a forward-looking approach to technology and governance, Osler remains a trusted partner for organizations striving to stay ahead in the rapidly evolving privacy landscape.
