It's not just boiler plate! This program will help you negotiate important clauses even with the 800 pound gorillas that everyone says will not change their "standard" contract language. To do this, you need to get past the gatekeepers. Those gatekeepers are internal and the other side with whom you are negotiating. Build influence by choosing the important issues to negotiate and help your internal constituents understand the importance to gain momentum. The panel will present negotiation and drafting tips designed to complement and refine your approach based upon differing internal and external pressures to "get the deal done."

With the complexity of many legal situations today, the best team to solve the problem may not work in one organization, but across many. This session is designed to help you create and lead a collaborative team with members from competing law firms, consulting groups and non-legal providers. In this session, you will discover how competitive collaboration has led to success for legal department leaders. A team of experts will offer insight and criteria on the type of engagements that lend themselves to this approach; how to get people with competing interests to collaborate effectively; how to deal with conflicts if they arise; and how to plan for seamless delivery and desired results. Case studies, tools and templates will augment the interactive presentation.

One of the most important topics in corporate compliance and governance compliance is subsidiary management. In our expanding global economy, the challenges of managing subsidiaries are complex, fraught with risk, and can quickly become an administrative nightmare. In this panel, compliance and governance professionals will discuss their experiences in managing entities across the world, working with agents and outside counsel, and managing tax issues. The program is aimed at identifying lessons learned, improving work practices, and reducing the risks and expenses your organization faces in maintaining entities around the world.
