ACC-SoCal is partnering with Project Angel Food to help prepare and package meals for seriously ill community members. This volunteer event will take place at the Project Angel Food kitchen located at 922 Vine Street, Los Angeles 90038 on Sunday, April 2, 2023 from 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM PT.

This event is open to ACC members. Please RSVP as soon as possible since space is limited.

Join the ACC Foundation and Southern California Chapter for the 2023 Cybersecurity Summit - the legal community's PREMIER cybersecurity conference. Held May 8-9 at the UCLA Luskin Conference Center, this program will keep you apprised of the latest cyber-related threats, innovations, and solutions through educational sessions lead by leading subject matter experts.

Corporate counsel are often tasked with negotiating, finalizing, and managing contracts of all shapes and sizes.  While the deal-specific terms are often the focus, “boilerplate” provisions can have significant impacts on risk allocation, damages exposure, likelihood of recovery, leverage, and insurance coverage when a dispute arises.  In this program, two litigators will lead a discussion about practical and strategic considerations in drafting and evaluating clauses governing limitations of liability, indemnity, dispute resolution, and insurance, and other so-called “boilerplate” provisions that should not be overlooked.

Speakers:
Carly Alameda, Partner, Farella Braun + Martel

Amy Briggs, Partner, Farella Braun + Martel

Agenda:

11:30 am – Registration, Lunch, Networking

12:00 pm – 1:00 pm – Program

Mindful eating and drinking is a great way to feel better and practice a new healthy habit as we enter Spring.

Please join your ACC Southern California colleagues for an afternoon coffee or tea break in which we will learn the basics of mindful eating and drinking while slowly sipping a calming and/or energizing warm drink.

Participants will receive a single serving of coffee or tea to use during this practice time as well as a small gift to keep by their desk as a reminder that it is possible to have a mindful moment during any busy day.

California businesses continue to be subjected to predatory ADA access lawsuits and demand letters.  While there remain opportunities for public accommodations to mitigate their risks of a drive-by ADA access lawsuit, there are also opportunities to rethink strategies in defending against these cases to prevent copycat lawsuits. 

Hayley Grunvald is an expert in defending against Title III lawsuits which includes advising clients on how to mitigate their risks of being sued, developing programs to ensure remediations are done quickly and correctly, drafting lease and vendor agreements to clearly articulate responsibility for accessibility compliance and to educate employees on the importance of prioritizing ADA compliance.
