In the post-Enron and Worldcom world, the development and maintenance of effective corporate governance strategies and policies remain top priorities for in-house counsel. You are frequently called upon by management and boards of directors as first responders in M&A situations and are expected to guide the company through corporate governance issues affecting M&A transactions. In multinational situations, corporate governance issues are made more complex by the interplay of different legal schemes. Are you prepared when senior management comes knocking? If not, here is your chance to learn the law you need to intelligently advise your management and board. Our panel will review corporate governance issues and responses through all stages of an M&A transaction including planning, due diligence, negotiation, board liability issues, the board approval process, and the shareholder approval process and send you home with the resources you need to counsel your client.

Many of us grew up under a common law system. Others lived in countries that have a civil law system. As in-house practice grows increasingly global, however, it is essential that we understand both traditions and that we also understand the relationships that these two traditions have to the developing legal systems in the world’s emerging economies. This program gave the participants a better understanding of the basic differences between the various branches of these two legal traditions and looked at some of the nuances of the two systems’ different negotiating styles in order to help us more successfully negotiate international transactions.

Sustainability concerns are poised to fundamentally change the way your organization does business. Corporate counsel are increasingly called upon to participate in everything from investing in alternative energy, sustainable products and technologies, to “greening” their companies’ facilities and operations, to verifying compliance with proliferating green reporting and disclosure requirements. The legal department will be a key focal point, and virtually every legal specialty can play a part. This panel focused on the central role of the legal department in addressing your company’s sustainability challenges and in designing and implementing your company’s green initiatives.

The recent US Supreme Court decision in Leegin Creative Leather Products, Inc. v. PSKS, Inc., relaxes the rules on price maintenance—but in Canada such activity remains a “per se” criminal offense. These and other differences can create traps or unnecessary burdens for companies which seek to operate on an integrated North American basis. This session, which was co-lead by a Canadian and a US practitioner, discussed the key areas of inconsistency and provided attendees with practical solutions for addressing them.

All departments in an organization are typically tasked with the establishment of a business plan that compliments the goals the organization intends to achieve for the coming cycle. Yet, this is an area where in-house counsels’ skill set has not been developed.

The plan should also align well with the overall strategies of the organization.

The global expansion of criminal risk for international companies and their executives progresses with lightning speed: some countries are setting even more stringent standards than in the US. Cooperation between international agencies is growing. The EU arrest warrant now allows arrest by foreign prosecutors without the need for a court process and extradition from the US is a real possibility. Given the high financial and reputational damage that criminal liability causes, in–house counsel need to understand the risks that their global companies and executives face. In this presentation, practical illustrations were used to demonstrate the risks and possible counter-measures in a wide variety of legal areas.
