Antitrust is a potential high-risk area for many companies. The consequences of an antitrust violation can be severe and substantial. A proactive way for companies to reduce and manage their potential antitrust liability is to conduct an antitrust audit. An effective audit will review and evaluate the company's potential antitrust risk areas, and provide recommendations of ways to eliminate or reduce those risks. But how do you design and conduct an efficient and productive antitrust audit that also is not too costly or burdensome for the company? Our panel has the answers!

With growing emphasis on controlling the costs of litigation, corporate counsel must demonstrate value using objective measurements. The emerging best practices for measuring the value of litigation management require metrics using methodology CFOs understand and in which they will have confidence. Our panel of law department leaders will demonstrate litigation management metrics and how they can be used in combination with risk analysis and early case assessment to improve litigation results.

ACC’s focus on privilege protection led us to look into the evolving (devolving?) relationship between lawyers and auditors for the company, but what we found takes us far beyond problems that arise in the context of auditor access to confidential or privileged files: additional dissatisfactions permeate the relationship. This program will present the results of this year’s examination of how to improve lawyer-auditor rapport and propose ideas to help facilitate the important work that lawyers and auditors should be working together to accomplish.

With intellectual property assertions from third parties becoming increasingly visible to companies, intellectual property indemnity provisions are more heavily negotiated and the focus of supply line and technology licensing agreements.

New regulations and ever-evolving standards are changing the relationship between companies and their auditors, and the way audits are conducted. What are the company's legal obligations when working with auditors? How can in-house counsel assist in the audit process? Who is in charge and what are the standards? What can be done when auditors change their minds? How can you best protect the attorney/client privilege in the audit process (e.g., minutes, litigation reserves)? Learn the answers to these and other pressing questions from our panel.
