This detailed powerpoint presentation discusses the risks corporate counsel face in a changing world. Learn how to avoid these risks with solid techniques outlined here.

Most courts have long recognized that the selection of counsel by a client is one that should not be disrupted. When it comes to insurance coverage of a claim, that selection is often limited by the terms of the insurance contract. The best time to negotiate a favorable selection of counsel clause is when the insurance renews or the business is considering changing insurance companies.

Simplified agreements and the elimination of unneeded contracts results in a huge increase in productivity and business partner satisfaction. How can you achieve this same result without increasing risk? The task encompasses a variety of activities from simplifying language and shortening documents, to smarter risk allocation (to avoid unnecessary negotiations), to implementing contracting mechanisms that reduce the number of provisions that must be repeatedly drafted, reviewed, understood, and negotiated.
