Sorry for being silent and reaching out this late – it has been one and a half years since Steve Tso’s passing. His death has been a profound loss, and we do this with heavy hearts.
Steve fought pancreatic cancer courageously for over two years with his usual good spirits, buoyed by his many friends – like you – his family, and his faith. He passed peacefully on March 22, 2023, surrounded by his loving family and friends.
In honoring Steve's life and highlighting his commitment to helping sick children and their families, his family would appreciate memorial gifts to be made to the Ronald McDonald House.

Your charitable gift can help to ensure that his legacy of compassion for others lives on, and that sick children have access to the best possible care and resources. We extend our deepest condolences to Steve's family and loved ones.

From Personal Information to Trade Secrets: Welcome to the Accelerated Digital Age!
17-May | Written by Vanessa Henri , Marek Nitoslawski and Eliane Ellbogen.
The authors will delve into the issue of protecting trade secrets, which is more topical than ever with the current prevalence of the “work-from-home” model. Specifically, the authors look at how the legal framework and considerations tied to the protection of trade secrets differ from those of personal information, but also, how in certain contexts, these two types of informational assets can overlap. For example, when personal information is used to fuel predictive algorithms, it may also be protectable as a trade secret. The governance and protection of all valuable information assets including, especially now, trade secrets, should be at the forefront of today’s business concerns.
