Congress recently passed the most significant amendments to the federal consumer product safety laws in 30 years. These changes affect not just manufacturers of consumer products, but also importers, private labelers, distributors and retailers. This session will address how these sweeping changes impact consumer product companies, new legal risks, and new burdens that have been placed on sellers and manufacturers. Developments in consumer product safety, including recent Consumer Product Safety Commission regulations, federal, private, and international efforts to bolster import safety, and related best practices in the face of heightened visibility and enforcement of product safety matters, will also be addressed.

Companies need to take risk to gain return. This is the golden rule of business and holds true across virtually all industries. The Great Credit Crisis of 2008 was also a stark reminder that finance and risk management practices need to be closely linked. Companies rely on finance principles to seek profit and on risk management techniques to adequately measure, monitor and control undesirable risks. In the last two years corporate bankruptcies have reached record numbers further demonstrating that the delicate balance between finance and risk management has not been maintained. Participants in this session will learn the core building blocks of financial theory and risk management theory and best practices. Various case studies will be used to foster learning and reinforce key concepts. Lawyers that understand these essential building blocks will be better positioned to assist their own companies avoid costly financial mistakes.

New economic realities demand that companies and brands act as good corporate citizens to connect with consumers. Traditional corporate philanthropy is increasingly eclipsed by “cause marketing” techniques, such as green marketing, donation-with-purchase, collecting contributions at checkout, online “voting” for charities, sale of donation cards and a myriad of others. Special charitable initiatives like Project Red have become global brands, themselves. In striving to do good while doing well, companies and brands need to be aware of the broad array of federal and state laws that can affect cause marketing efforts. These include commercial coventurer laws, professional fundraising regulation, IRS sponsorship and self-dealing guidelines, and general consumer protection laws prohibiting false or deceptive advertising. International campaigns introduce additional complications. This program will provide a structured overview and analytical framework for legal regulation of cause marketing programs, along with practical advice for compliance and best practices in this fast-growing field.
