May 3, 2011 - PRLog -- Buckhead-based law firm Berman Fink Van Horn (BFVH) is sponsoring a breakfast briefing on May 6 for Atlanta business leaders to discuss some of the issues the rapid advance in technology has created for business law.  UHY’s David Barton will discuss the opportunities and risks of cloud computing.

Who owns that email you just sent? What about the attachment you forwarded with it? If you don’t know the answer, you’re not alone: technology has advanced at a pace that far outstrips legislation to deal with it. The digital era has brought incredible new tools to doing business, but along with it come new legal questions. And not only is legislation to address digital commerce just now catching up, much of it is still open to interpretation.

The panel will discuss a number of legal developments affecting digital commerce, including social media, paperless transactions, cloud computing, and jurisdiction and the Internet, as well as offering guidance in how to protect your company, your assets, and yourself.

Speakers include:
