How will that contract you just drafted stand up to the scrutiny of a judge or jury? Each year, some of the largest jury verdicts in the United States are awarded in breach-of-contract cases. In this program, faculty will discuss lessons learned from trying contract cases to help you evaluate, prepare for, and win contract-related litigation. Topics will include unique issues that arise in trying contract claims; how commonly used contractual clauses can backfire at trial; minimizing risk in contract drafting and negotiation; restricting application of fiduciary duty and the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing; third-party vendor liability; and damages.

With over 900 pages of law & tens of thousands of pages of regulations, “ObamaCare” has been in the news and courts & now it’s on your desk and in your board room, C-suite and business units. Get your "cheat sheet" to navigating the implications of the Patient Protection Affordable Care Act (PPACA). The panel will tackle the hottest Affordable Care Act issues including: (1) Medicaid expansion - what states are expanding and what will be the impact to states that are not expanding; (2) New regulations - what are some of the most significant and controversial regulations and can more be expected in the near future; (3) Accountable Care Organizations (ACO) - great rewards are promised for healthcare companies willing to be accountable for better outcomes and savings, but what “pay for performance” and quality controls are being implemented, measured and reported and is it really worth it?
