As more companies are having to writedown and restate because of high exposure to collateralized debt obligations and other investments tied to subprime mortgages, it is critical that in-house counsel understand the effects of the subprime mess on business, and how to explain these consequences to investors. Panelists representing mortgage companies, investment banks, and regulators provided a concise but comprehensive “sub-primer” on the origins and potential long-term effects of one of the most expensive financial events in modern times.

Companies faced with creating and implementing an effective global ethics and compliance program have a gargantuan task. While simplicity may be a worthy goal, it may also be stymied by the numerous requirements that need to be met. A global program must address not only multiple laws and regulations of the countries in which the company has employees and/or operations, but must also give consideration to language, cultural, and ethical differences and issues. Our panel of experts have “been there, done that.”

Attorneys who provide EH&S compliance advice may be lucky enough to avoid serious enforcement and litigation. However, much of the practice is shaped by lawsuits and the advice of those who have had to face the judge or jury. We all want to avoid lawsuits, but we can sure learn from the preparation and outcome. EH&S litigators in key and risky regulatory areas will discuss and share their insight with those tasked with providing day-to-day EH&S advice. After attending this session, you will have the tools to better counsel on EH&S matters.

Responding to an expansive eDiscovery request is a daunting task on its own, but for in-house counsel (especially those with little to no experience dealing in the litigation arena) it can quickly devolve into a living nightmare. This program is for those in-house counsel looking for knowledge on how to successfully manage a discovery request or tips for possibly bringing the process in house. E-discovery rules and concepts will be presented in plain English with the goal of demystifying all the “tech” speak around this subject matter. The panel discussion also will focus on making the decision whether to bring all or part of the eDiscovery process in house - including what to consider, who to talk to inside and outside as part of the process, and how to evaluate vendors.
