March 24, 2026 In-Person Roundtable with Eversheds Sutherland

“International Contracting: Navigating Cross Border Agreements”

Understanding the complexity of international contracting is increasingly essential for in house legal teams supporting global operations. Differences between US, UK and European contracting approaches can create friction, uncertainty and hidden risks. 

Join Eversheds Sutherland and ACC Philadelphia for an interactive session over lunch to break down those differences and provide practical guidance on how to navigate them confidently and effectively.

Jenny Lambert (US) and Ed Tompkin-Haag (UK) bring deep experience advising international businesses on cross‑border commercial contracting. Collectively, they have worked with clients across multiple sectors to align contract structures, mitigate jurisdictional risks and streamline negotiations across borders.

Drawing on their hands‑on experience, they will lead a collaborative, in‑person program designed to demystify the realities of contracting internationally and equip legal leaders with practical frameworks for managing multi‑jurisdictional agreements. 

The session will explore:

• the key differences, pressure points and legal friction areas between US, UK and European contracting norms; and
• the most critical issues to watch for when negotiating and drafting cross‑border commercial contracts.
