Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII), the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), and a variety of state anti-discrimination laws prohibit bias based on sex, color, race, religion, age, ancestry, national origin, disability and sexual orientation, among others. Image discrimination can be linked to any of these characteristics, and whether a characteristic is ‘mutable’ and ‘immutable’ becomes important in determining whether an individual has suffered from such bias. In this session, participants will explore the concepts, legal underpinnings, and recent developments involved in recognizing and eliminating image discrimination in the counsel’s office and in the wider corporate environment.
Annual Meeting 2006: In addition to results, in-house litigators are regularly asked to show how they add value to the bottom line. Thus, in-house litigators need to put together a carefully developed plan, similar to a winning case strategy, which resonates with upper management. More than basic metrics, this seminar looks at what large and small litigation departments can do to win the adding value battle.
In our heavily regulated business climate, every company should have a basic set of policies that its employees can turn to for guidance on a regular basis. Well drafted policies inform everyone of the rules, and protect your clients from liability-poorly drafted ones can create more litigation and regulatory problems than they fix. Learn how to advise your clients on the appropriate topics for policies, and the legal ramifications of publishing and communicating these policies. In-house practitioners will share their sample policies and provide valuable insights for getting these adopted and used by the businesses.
Confidentiality and non-compete agreements are some of the most common agreements faced by in-house law departments. Learn the law involved in these types of agreements and how the size of your organization and the type of business determines how and when it’s best to use these instruments. Learn about the different types of confidentiality and non-compete agreements and when should they be used, how to choose the right format and key clauses for the job, what barriers there are to enforcement, what other companies have done to manage the never ending flow of requests to review non-disclosure agreements, and how to ensure compliance.
Annual Meeting 2006: The biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry faces a unique and daunting set of statutory and regulatory issues, including, but not limited to, the handling and disposal of radioactive materials, employee health & safety procedures involving unique and exotic compounds, NRC licensing, and good laboratory practices.

Our panelists will explore the legal foundations of these issues, discuss the regulatory framework in which their respective companies operate, and lay down a suggested path for both large and small companies in this industry to follow.
