He has been lead-counsel in multiple jury and bench trials in Utah state and federal courts. As organizations embrace digital transformation, Romaine helps them navigate and manage legal risks by tailoring incident response plans and risk assessments and co-developing written information security and AI risk management programs. 

He also advises on the application of cybersecurity and AI governance frameworks, and related data privacy considerations.

What

When Mark Smith started at the Utah Division of Finance (within Utah’s Department of Government Operations) three years ago, there were 219 record series, most of which hadn’t been updated since their creation nearly forty years ago. Luckily for the Division, Mark is smart, meticulous, and organized, and he attacked the series clean-up with a vengeance. Come hear Mark share his experience and lessens learned.
