Calm Amid Chaos: A Fireside Chat With Shane McGee, General Counsel and Chief Privacy Officer

Randy Sabett, Cooley cyber/data/privacy special counsel, will sit down with Shane McGee, general counsel and chief privacy officer at Deepwatch, for a candid conversation about the realities of leading a fast-moving cybersecurity company through a constantly evolving legal and regulatory landscape.

With nearly two decades of experience advising and shaping cyber companies – from heading the cyber practice at an Am Law 20 global firm to serving as the first general counsel at Mandiant – McGee brings a unique perspective to the table. His leadership has helped companies scale, navigate complex privacy and security issues, and in many cases, transition into large or public organizations. In this discussion, Sabett and McGee will explore what a typical day looks like for an in-house counsel balancing legal, privacy and strategic business responsibilities at the highest level.
