Topics to be covered include the efficient division of pretrial responsibilities between in and outside counsel, ways to minimize the impact of litigation through document retention practices, development of corporate culture, and other legal strategies, and client service within the organization (including deposition defense and representation of the company in court).

Whether your company has lawyers outside the U.S. or not, there will come a time when you may need to deal with litigation, government investigations, commercial claims, or employment matters in another country. What are the best practices you should employ when working with outside counsel or your own legal staff outside of the U.S.? Our legal managers will share their lessons learned from the trenches and send you home with practical approaches to dealing with international legal issues.

Whether you think of yourself as a litigator, a regulatory specialist, or a transactional lawyer, as a legal manager you will deal with litigation. Because the costs can be so high, many CEO’s and other business managers measure the effectiveness of the law department based on how well the department manages litigation. Learn about the latest issues in managing litigation, to help your company achieve the desired result at the right cost.

This Briefing Book includes a discussion outline and suggested resources on the topic of strategic practices in outside counsel management from the inaugural meeting of ACC's Law Department Executive Leadership group.
