This program will focus on alternative dispute resolution in its current state of practice, what’s working and what’s not working. Arbitration clauses and arbitration forums will be exemplified and discussed, with emphasis given to well-drafted and not-so-well drafted clauses, arbitrator neutrality, selection and misconduct, discovery in arbitration and enforcement of awards. The presentation will also include a discussion of international arbitration principles and practice. The second phase of this presentation will explore mediation and med-arb alternatives with discussion about mediator selection, the role of in-house lawyers and outside counsel in mediation and the role of settlement counsel.

Following the substantive portion of this event, Frost Brown Todd will be hosting a virtual happy hour. (BYOB)
 

 

Pennsylvania courts, particularly Pennsylvania federal courts, have recognized an unusual jurisdictional hook called “conspiracy jurisdiction.”  This theory is relevant to corporate structures for which parent companies could be swept into Pennsylvania actions based on alleged conspiracy with subsidiaries.  On closer examination, this jurisdictional theory may be an aberration, overextending dicta in old state opinions without a ruling from the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.  Questions also arise whether conspiracy jurisdiction comports with due process.  This presentation will explore the genesis and potential limitations of the theory in order to prepare for and better defend against its use.

Join ACC New York City, ACC Northeast, and our generous sponsor, Mintz Levin, for an important webinar — The Fine Print Matters: Negotiating Boilerplate Contract Clauses Through the Litigator’s Lens

In the wake of COVID-19, corporate counsel are being pushed to do more with less, streamline their teams, and leverage every dollar spent on outside counsel. While efficiency should always be the goal, risk should not be the unintended consequence.
 
Incorporating insight from Accenture’s Senior In-House Counsel, Dana Davenport, and seasoned Mintz litigators, LisaMarie Collins and Meredith Leary, this panel will explore the impact of boilerplate language in business contracts, and how the inclusion of, and language in, boilerplate provisions can play a critical role when a dispute emerges. While not every term of a contract should be customized, it is too late to understand what boilerplate means when a relationship sours and contract provisions become fodder for litigation. Participants will learn from an in-house perspective how to assess and negotiate boilerplate provisions and witness first-hand how litigators review, analyze, and dissect some commonly used boilerplate provisions when a dispute arises.  We hope you'll join us!
