An experienced panel of in-house counsel, savvy in the ways of internal politics, will discuss successful methods of law department integration, as well as softer skills in developing relationships within the business necessary for the integration of the legal department as a true business partner adding value. All legal departments face the pressures of lowering expenses as a “cost center” while rarely showing value in the traditional sense a business team is familiar with: revenue generation or “profit.” Panelists will share experiences and stories of success and failure, answer your questions and invite you to share your own stories.

This panel will contemplate what worked and what didn’t work at several companies following a natural or unexpected disaster, including unexpected challenges, contingency planning that was ineffective and things that were learned as a result of having to “work on the fly.”

In the context of cross-border transactions, whether acquisitions, investments or financings, it is important to understand the implications of using established transaction agreement precedents in multiple jurisdictions; including the use of the binding and non-binding letter of intent (LOI), the signed and unsigned agreement, the obligation to negotiate and execute in good faith, the application of the miscellaneous clauses and especially whether you think your agreement is the “entire agreement.” In Canada, there are two legal traditions (English Common Law and Quebec Civil Law), which in certain circumstances differ from US common law; these differences must be noted before entering into negotiations. The standard form contract or boilerplate may burn you if you are not careful. Panelists will review the traditional transaction steps between offer or LOI to the definitive agreement and specific provisions that are drafted the same but used in different jurisdictions.
