Law departments continue to face unique challenges resulting from Sarbanes-Oxley. As new regulations are introduced, the list of requirements that businesses must satisfy becomes more complex and exhaustive. Simultaneously, law departments face budget constraints, competitive pressures requiring rapid-fire responses, and the risks created by internal “silos.” Today, a law department’s structure directly impacts the ability of supervising attorneys to manage operations and deliver quality client service. This interactive workshop addressed the challenges faced by in-house counsel and shared best practices for successfully managing a law department.

Topics covered included outsourcing legal services to non-US entities, relevant ethical considerations, practical considerations such as monitoring and controlling quality, types of matters that can or even should be outsourced to non-US counsel, and privilege and confidentiality issues.

Increasingly, law departments are responsible for more than just practicing law — they are also responsible for efficient and fiscally responsible operations. Managing costs, reducing risk, and improving productivity are all priorities for corporate counsel because law departments are being evaluated against the same standards as other departments within their companies. To meet this challenge, law departments need new tools for measuring value and results. This session shared best practices on using metrics to manage or control costs, evaluate outside counsel performance, increase efficiencies, and communicate the value of the law department to company management.

Raising capital in private transactions is big business, for new, small and large companies alike. If this hasn’t been your practice are before and is now, join us at this session to explore with experienced practitioners the basic legal and regulatory framework for raising capital privately – covering the Securities Act exemption and Regulation D and changes to that framework made by the Dodd-Frank Act. We’ll also introduce you to the key concepts and jargon (e.g., bad boy investors) you’ll need to get through a capital raising with comfort. The session will cover finding (soliciting) investors, what the offering materials need to cover and look like, state blue sky (another piece of jargon we’ll cover), restricted stock and who the regulators are.

Movie lawyers lead tough lives, particularly corporate lawyers. From the 1976 film Network to the 2007 film Michael Clayton, the fantastic situations of our big screen counterparts offer real world lessons. Using short film clips of ethically challenged movie lawyers to illustrate the requirements of the rules of professional responsibility, Hollywood's portrayal of corporate counsel enables us to demonstrate practical requirements of the rules of ethics. By drawing on familiar movies, this session enhances audience interaction and provides very tangible examples of the rules in action. From negotiation ethics to privilege, dealing with employees to document retention, audience participants will be encouraged to opine regarding their views of the movie lawyer behavior, and the panel of both in-house and outside counsel will draw from the film examples to present other hypotheticals and examples that will keep the program grounded in real world application to the practicing lawyer.

Politics and government regulation affect every aspect of business profitability and success, often in critical ways.

Perhaps no area of law varies as greatly in the global context as employment law. In some jurisdictions, laws can comparatively conflict and may appear largely unintuitive to an outsider. How can global company employment policies be written at a high enough level to apply across all regions, yet include a reasonable level of specificity to allow for regional variances in practice? Furthermore, how can global policies encompass the ever-growing mobile and outsourced workforce to ensure fair, consistent and legally-enforceable practice?
