Although globalization offers tremendous promise, it also presents companies with many new challenges. Among them is the need to develop creative, efficient, and responsive functional models for the provision of legal services. Companies establishing operations beyond their home market must decide whether and how to create in-house legal teams to support the broad spectrum of legal needs in other countries. This article offers a glimpse into the myriad of issues that surround those decisions and outlines how some global company law departments have structured themselves in response.

Breaches of patient privacy/security are considered the number one risk for liability in the healthcare industry today. Control over patient information in today’s society is becoming ever increasingly difficult with the expanding use of electronic health records, personal health records and social media, plus the advent of Health Information Exchanges. Outsourcing of healthcare operations provides additional risk, especially the enforceability of patient privacy/security law when patient information is sent outside the US. Unfavorable media, government enforcement, class action litigation and identity theft all pose a constant concern to in-house counsel, and vendors themselves are now at greater risk of liability with penalties now imposed on business associates. This panel will provide an overview of the principal federal laws & regulations concerning privacy/security (HIPAA/HITECH/Red Flags), their interaction with select state laws, international laws (EU Data Protection), and practical ways to minimize risk and keep patient information private and secure.

Sound marks, holographic marks, three dimensional marks, scent marks and other non-traditional trademarks have become an important means for marketing departments to build and exploit their company’s brand — in addition to logos, phrases and other more traditional marks. In-house counsel need to stay informed about developments in non-traditional marks in order to keep up with business realities and protect their company’s interests. Many countries have regimes that regulate non-traditional marks, and understanding the procedures required to protect a brand’s unique shapes, sounds and smells can provide an important competitive advantage. This program will address: (1) the types of non-traditional marks that may currently be registered, and what lies ahead; (2) clearance procedures; (3) applications to register; and (4) enforcement proceedings.

Why do corporations lose in high-stakes litigation before juries? A number of factors may be to blame — including plaintiffs portraying corporations as uncaring monsters long before any parties set foot in the courtroom. In this program, we will address how to overcome Ball and Keenan’s Reptilian Theory by transforming the perception of the company from the inception of the case. Our panel will focus on the use of themes (including company mottos and corporate vision statements), proper preparation of the corporate representative, and innovative approaches to voir dire, opening statement, closing argument, and demonstrative exhibits, all focused on portraying the corporation in the most favorable light possible and contributing to the best outcome at trial.
