This hypothetical example used in ACC's CLO Club during Annual Meeting 2007 presents issues relating to crisis management and communications.

Negotiating transactions is one of the functions that in-house counsel must perform well. In fact, a good negotiation can make the difference between getting the most and getting a so-so outcome for your business client. Negotiating contracts is a key component of practicing in-house, and offering your client and the other side well-drafted contract provisions can reduce the time and effort spent negotiating.

Corporate practitioners need to not only add value to their company, but they need to prove it! But how do you do that? The answer isn't to become a better lawyer, but to develop a business eye. But hey, business eyes don't grow on trees, you say! Well no of course not and you can't really get one from law school either. This humorous look at the corporation and the lawyers that work for it will send you home with practical methods for adding value to your organization and proving it by developing a business eye.

This Key Takeaway Summary Sheet summarizes key issues, challenges and best practices that were described during CLO Club Sessions 1 & 2 (on Financial Compliance and on Crisis Management, respectively) during ACC's CLO Club at Annual Meeting 2007.

ACC’S CLO THINKTANK FOLLOW-UP RESOURCE LIST COMPENSATION & CAREER ADVANCEMENT FOR IN-HOUSE LAWYERS

701 ABC's of Intellectual Property Due Diligence for M&A Transactions

Every in-house practitioner has negotiated between one and a million contracts in his career. But do you excel in this element of your job or cringe when the occasion presents itself? Here is your chance to refresh everything you learned in contract law and forgot. Unlike law school though, in addition to the law, we'll send you home with a set of practical tools to manage the contract process including those that are difficult to negotiate.

It's back and it's better than ever. In 2001, the list was begun with only 10 things you should know as in-house counsel. Not just for general counsel, these issues have not gone away, and now the list has grown to 250 things. Our outstanding panel of in-house counsel will share their list of things they were glad they knew-or wished they'd known-when starting out. Gain guidance in such key areas as employment law, intellectual property issues, corporate governance, securities law, and litigation.
