The event will feature business ethics specialist Thiago Luís Sombra

 

In the midst of the challenge of digital transformation, issues such as data protection, the Anti-Corruption Law and digital governance are increasingly important in business strategies and in the routine of companies. “IT companies are subject to the Anti-Corruption Law, the Civil Rights Framework for the Internet and sectoral regulatory acts, so they must adopt corporate ethics practices and procedures as a way to mitigate damage and avoid incursion into the respective sanctions and liability”, highlights the lawyer Thiago Luís Sombra, partner at Mattos Filho, a specialist in corporate ethics, who will be one of the speakers at the ABES Software Conference, which takes place on September 18 at the WTC, in São Paulo.
 
The lawyer, who will be part of the panel “Legal security in Brazil”, also highlights sensitive points that need to be addressed in the relationship between IT company and clients, as it is important to “understand client demands from the perspective of innovation, disruption, digitization and convergence, in addition to ensuring a governance environment capable of ensuring credibility and trust in data management and internal customer practices”. He points out that “legal certainty requires the adoption of appropriate measures by companies regarding compliance with the Anti-Corruption, Data Protection and Digital Governance Law”.
 
 
Borderless
 
In Sombra’s definition, “digital governance can be understood as the set of factors responsible for establishing the operating structure of the digital environment through the interconnection of services, goods and users”, which, according to him, goes beyond the sphere of each country’s legislation, as the data flow crosses borders. “Governance is not a phenomenon of strictly national legal regulation, insofar as the architecture of the network is conceived in a decentralized way, with the involvement and protagonism of users, developers and public authorities”.
 
Manoel Antonio dos Santos, legal director of ABES, and labor judge Marlos Melek, member of the final drafting committee of the Labor Reform, will also participate in this panel, which will have the mediation of engineer Emerson Kapaz, businessman, former federal deputy, rapporteur of the New Law of Corporations.
