Some agency regulators or enforcement authorities will request your client’s privileged communications. This session will explore the circumstances under which your business runs the risk of that exposure and how your company can respond. The panel will discuss how regulators and enforcement authorities now approach privileged communications; what the approaches imply for how in-house counsel should communicate with their clients; and from the perspective of an enforcement authority, what options in-house counsel have in responding to requests for privileged information.

A contract contains a forum selection clause in State X. Plaintiff brings suit in State Y, requiring Defendant to incur unwarranted fees and expenses. Will Plaintiff be required to pay Defendant’s attorney’s fees for breach of this seemingly miscellaneous provision? The answer may vary based on state law and the language in the contract. In New York, despite strong enforcement of the American Rule, courts have awarded attorneys’ fees for breach of miscellaneous provisions. In California, however, fees for breach of a miscellaneous provision may be denied if the fee-requesting party does not ultimately prevail. You will draft miscellaneous contract provisions from various jurisdictions for your fantasy contract and earn points based on the strength of your draft clauses, incorporating suggestions from the panelists. Earn the most points to be crowned best fantasy contract drafter.
