The changing landscape of the American legal profession brings with it an ever-evolving set of concerns for attorneys and their employers. Over the past three decades increased lawyer mobility and the growing trend towards moving legal work in-house has fueled ethical and business-related concerns. These concerns include the need for confidentiality, the protection of intellectual property and other proprietary information, the potential for economic harm to the employer and the individual attorney respectively, and the increased potential for conflicts of interest. As a result, the past decades have also seen a marked increase in the use of anticompetitive covenants and consequently litigation related to anticompetitive covenants. This article attempts to predict the final outcome of the legal status of non-compete agreements as applied to in-house counsel.

Companies must compete globally today, and international joint ventures (IJV) or consortium agreements (project joint ventures, PJVs) are a complex and necessary part of this business. They aid companies in forming strategic alliances that allow them to gain access to a partner’ s essential local markets, resources, expertise and technology. They also bring substantial risk, including significant economic and compliance risk. This session will prepare in-house counsel to advise on the pros and cons of JVs and PJVs, including geographic, cultural, economic and compliance considerations, and review the basic elements of JV and consortium agreements with an eye to maximizing the value and mitigating the risks. Panelists will cite real-life examples to illustrate how to structure, negotiate and manage these types of agreements for international projects.
