The International Committee  of the SF Bay Area Chapter  focuses  on providing practical advice on legal issues which impact in-house counsel for companies doing business outside the USA.   The Committee  offers quarterly CLE luncheon programs  on international legal and regulatory topics of interest to in-house practitioners.
 
Our programs are generally quite interactive, providing Chapter members the opportunity to ask questions and obtain practical information  and insights
that enable them to serve their clients more effectively.  Recent programs have included  discussions of  the Foreign Corrupt Practices ACT (FCPA) and other US laws
with international reach; tips on conducting more effective cross- cultural and international negotiations; suggestions on improving standard alternative dispute
resolution clauses; and pointers on  the legal systems of specific countries and on other practical international business  and legal issues  handled by in-house counsel.   
 
The Committee Co- Chairs welcome input from members on Program topics  and encourage members with expertise to volunteer to present or participate in programs.

For more information on chapter activities, to suggest a topic for a CLE program or to participate in a presentation, please contact one of the Committee Co-Chairpersons.
