OBA PROGRAM | 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM (ET)

Quantum computing is advancing rapidly toward commercialization, and the legal implications are no longer theoretical. Quantum risk refers to the growing threat that the quantum systems will be capable of breaking encryption standards on which modern data protection, confidentiality, and contractual security depend, exposing vast amounts of sensitive data. 

Join us for this practical, forward-looking session designed to equip lawyers with the knowledge and tools they need to advise clients confidently on quantum risk.

You will learn how to:

• Understand the essentials of quantum computing and post-quantum cryptography
• Identify and communicate key quantum risks to clients, including the implications of “harvest now, decrypt later” strategies of threat actors
• Assess encryption dependencies and vulnerabilities
• Strengthen contractual protections and sharpen vendor due diligence and oversight to address quantum era exposures
• Prepare clients for the transition to post-quantum cryptography standards
• Embed quantum risk within broader governance, compliance, and legal risk frameworks

Join us to get ahead of the curve and ensure you are ready to guide your clients through one of the most consequential technological shifts of the decade.
