THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS

Government attorneys bring different priorities and perspectives to their handling of an investigation of or suit against your company.  Next Tuesday, former Associate Attorney General Tom Perrelli (now a partner at Jenner & Block) will  share his perspective from both sides of the "looking glass" in a way that will ensure your company doesn't miss important opportunities or make any of the most common big mistakes in facing off against the government.  The luncheon will take place on Tuesday, May 21, starting at 12 noon at The Ritz-Carlton Tysons Corner.  For more details and registration, please visit http://www.cvent.com/d/rcq50g
