Whether in connection with simple zoning and land use issues, massive public–private partnership deals or regional development agencies, a general counsel who ignores the impact of the local political environment does so at their company's peril. Knowledge of the law is one thing; being able to navigate the political waters is an entirely different one. In a mock public-hearing format using headlines and video from recent media, a diverse panel will conduct a highly interactive session to demonstrate the pitfalls of working with local government and offer practical solutions.
