Annual Meeting 2006: This two-part program will explore the many unique legal issues presented by electronic discovery. Part 1 will include discussion of real-life best practices used by corporations to tackle the electronic discovery beast. Whether from a large or small department or company, we’ll send you home with a how-to guide for making sure your processes are not only effective, but efficient as well.
Annual Meeting 2006: In the event of a corporate failure, particularly one involving a failure of legal compliance, in-house lawyers may find themselves increasingly in the cross hairs. Expansive changes in attorney conduct regulation, fiduciary liabilities for gatekeeper failures, dawn file-raids, subpoenas for lawyers as witnesses, certifications without adequate sub-certifications, and even unsuccessful reporting-up-turned-retaliatory discharge all suggest that the potential for personal liability, fiduciary breaches, obstruction charges, and sanctions for in-house lawyers are on the rise. As general counsel, you owe it to yourself and your legal staff to understand trends, best practices, and helpful policies for safeguarding your law department and your lawyers’ exposure before a corporate failure, or even 20/20 hindsight, puts you in the cross hairs.
Meeting today’s regulatory and client demands requires close up the full power and productivity of all members of the legal department. Law managers must develop the management and relationship skills that aren't taught in law firms or in law school. How can you be more than just a manager and become also an effective leader? Join us for this open dialogue between management experts and corporate counsel as they share advice on how specific general management and leadership techniques can been applied with success to law departments. Learn to articulate the strategies for increasing commitment to organizational goals, identify opportunities to extend leadership training in your department, and appreciate the soft skills required to increase productivity, collegiality, and focus of your department-all with a primary goal of becoming a better leader.
Annual Meeting 2006: Don't know a copyright from a trademark, or just looking for a refresher to help you spot issues?
