Join ACC Georgia for a Corporate Recoveries 101 Webinar
Earlier this year, ACC Georgia offered an in-person CLE on starting a corporate recoveries program. We received so much great feedback from the attendees that we’ve decided to offer it again as a webinar.
A corporate recoveries program is a vital tool for corporate counsel looking to drive value and even generate revenue for the businesses they support. This presentation will provide an overview of corporate recovery opportunities as well as insights into developing an effective corporate recoveries program. It will also include lessons learned from corporate counsel with mature recoveries programs.
Moderator: Pat Fagan, Partner, Bondurant Mixson & Elmore
Panelists: Scott Slater, Associate General Counsel, Trane Technologies Kathleen Campbell, Corporate Counsel, The Home Depot Ben Thorpe, Partner, Bondurant Mixson & Elmore
