There are subtle and not-so-subtle issues in dealing with another party’s confidential information and in-house counsel need to understand and address them both. This was a how-to course to train employees and set up processes and procedures to minimize the risks associated with obtaining and using confidential information of third parties. It is crucial when competitive technologies from two or more third parties are being evaluated or developed, or where your company is working on potentially competitive technology to that of one of your current or potential vendors or customers. This program was suitable for in-house lawyers with or without an IP background at both a basic and intermediate level.

Simplified agreements and the elimination of unneeded contracts results in a huge increase in productivity and business partner satisfaction. How can you achieve this same result without increasing risk? The task encompasses a variety of activities from simplifying language and shortening documents, to smarter risk allocation (to avoid unnecessary negotiations), to implementing contracting mechanisms that reduce the number of provisions that must be repeatedly drafted, reviewed, understood, and negotiated. Hear how these panelists did it and take these lessons home with you.

In-house counsel shared lessons learned and best practices to create robust processes and review of marketing programs and advertising claims, including process and elements necessary for advertising claims substantiation, and to lessen the risk of legal, regulatory, and competitive challenges.

Most courts have long recognized that the selection of counsel by a client is one that should not be disrupted. When it comes to insurance coverage of a claim, that selection is often limited by the terms of the insurance contract. The best time to negotiate a favorable selection of counsel clause is when the insurance renews or the business is considering changing insurance companies. This program reviewed options offered by insurance carriers, including: mutual selection; an opportunity to confer; insured’s selection of counsel, except for designated claims; insured’s selection from a panel list; insured’s choice with carrier’s approval; and strong consideration to insured’s choice — final decision with carrier.

The two countries experiencing the greatest economic growth are India and China. Each possesses unique resources and opportunities for US-based companies. China has concentrated on contract manufacturing, while India is more focused on attracting service industries. In 2007, the Indian economy grew almost nine percent, which closely parallels China’s growth. This course focused on why you must adopt a different approach and mindset when dealing with China and India and what you cannot afford to ignore about doing business with these emerging giants. It covered both legal and cultural barriers that all foreign direct investors encounter.

The means by which your company can monitor and track employees and customers has become easier than ever. In addition to monitoring telephone calls, emails, and internet usage, the technology exists through Radio Frequency ID (RFID) tags, phone records, and global positioning systems to passively collect data on and track the movements and habits of employees and customers. We can watch our employees enter and exit our buildings, and we can pull their telephone and computer records to review usage. However, the use of this technology and how the information learned about your employees and customers is used is not without legal pitfalls. This program looked at the laws governing employee and customer monitoring and suggested best practices in connection with company policies and practices.

This interactive session will focus on the questions that arise in the daily tasks that in-house counsel perform: business person vs. attorney? Ex-employee relationships? Disclosure rules vs. confidentiality? But rather than hypotheticals, we want you to tell your story and make our audience laugh, cry or simply shake their head.

Regardless of industry or company size, bodies of law govern all of your business communications: defamation, commercial disparagement and false advertising.

Though pro-union labor law reform may no longer be at the top of the legislative agenda, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is hard at work pushing to change national labor policy through administrative action. A wave of Board decisions will make it easier for unions to organize workers, and new rules could profoundly change the direction of modern labor law. At the same time, the President (through Executive Orders), Congress (think health care reform), the Department of Labor and other government agencies have made significant labor-related changes that affect every employer. Join leading labor attorneys in an informative discussion of what has happened, what changes may still be on the horizon, and what in-house counsel can do now.

This program will begin with an introduction of these two types of real estate transactions and then explore some of the finer points of work in these areas.
