Do you control your digital life or does it control you? Whether texting, emailing, posting on social media, or browsing the Web, many people are at the mercy of their digital devices. Indeed, Internet addiction is on the rise and is linked to mental health concerns like depression and anxiety. In 2019, the average American checked their phone 96 times a day. By the end of 2021, that figure skyrocketed to 344 times a day―a 3.5 times increase since the start of the pandemic. Those suffering from severe internet addiction are 8 times more likely to be depressed, 9 times more likely to have anxiety, and 14 times more likely to experience both of these mental health concerns.

Join attorneys Becky Howlett and Cindy Sharp as they present strategies designed to help attorneys manage and even unplug from the digital world - ethically and mindfully.

In this timely program, we will explore:

  • Dangers of digital addiction on mental health and well-being,
  • Ethical ramifications of mismanaged use of technology, including relevant Model Rules of Professional Conduct,
  • Suggestions for creating an organizational digital policy, and 
  • Specific steps to mindfully disconnect from the digital world.

ACC Houston Litigation Practice Group CLE
Spring Cleaning...Up Your Contracts
June 5, 2024 | 11:30 am - 1:30 pm | Brennan's

“Spring Cleaning…Up Your Contracts” will explore best practices for drafting and negotiating agreements with litigation in mind.  We’ll consider recent updates to Texas law and the potential impacts of routine provisions, including liquidated damages provisions, arbitration agreements, venue selection provisions, and more. Focusing on the ever-evolving legal landscape in Texas and the upcoming implementation of the Texas business courts, attendees will leave with a better understanding of how to tackle agreements to best meet their business goals and position themselves when/if litigation ensues.

Event Agenda:
11:30 am - 12:00 - Check In and Networking
12:00 pm - 1:00 pm - Program
1:00 pm - 1:30 pm - "Office Hours" for Q&A

This 1-hour session focuses on the essential issues that in-house counsel needs to know to advise on these issues, and to manage litigation together with external counsel.  

Drafting and litigating employment agreements represent ever-present and challenging issues for any employer and, consequently, for in-house counsel. The law is constantly evolving and less-than-cutting-edge drafting and terms can lead to problems in enforceability and litigation.   

You will hear about the latest learnings and insights from the courts and practice on the most pressing issues relating to your employment contracts, including:  

• Termination clauses  

• Restrictive covenants 

• Independent contractor vs. employment relationships, and, 

• Fixed term vs. indefinite term contracts.
