From supply chain issues to force majeure events, cost escalation, and delay claims, the construction industry is seeing an increase in disputes and business disruption. This presentation will cover how those drafting contracts can mitigate risk and best position themselves when issues and claims arise on construction projects.

Businesses are increasingly embracing Web 3.0, or Web3, as the future of the internet. In fact, companies are already using Web3 in many different ways, including in decentralized finance, governance, and gaming. But the legal framework surrounding related emerging technologies, such as blockchain, cryptocurrency, and non-fungible tokens (or NFTs), remains unsettled. As a result, companies trying to navigate Web3 and these technologies are wading into largely uncharted legal waters. In this presentation, partners Sarah Paul and Brandi Taylor, who routinely advise businesses on Web3 issues, will discuss some of the key Web3 technologies, how companies are already using those technologies, and the various novel legal issues they present.

Speakers:
Brandi Taylor, Partner, West Coast Technology & Data Lead, Eversheds Sutherland
Sarah Paul, Partner, Co-Global Head of Corporate Crime and Investigations, Eversheds Sutherland
Jaya Kasibhatia,  Associate General Counsel, Product at Coinbase

Emerging cyber laws and regulations coupled with increasing cyber threats requires leadership to proactively manage and address risks facing their organizations. Often times the responsibility to develop a compliance and cyber program is entrusted to in-house counsel. With sophisticated threats targeting supply chain coupled with a prescriptive regulatory landscape, failure to understand the consequences of cyber risk places an organization, its employees, customers, and stakeholders at risk. Hear actionable guidance from inside and outside counsel about how to build a cyber program that inspires trust through emotional intelligence and leveraging relationships within the enterprise.

Using examples of apocalyptic visions in cinema as analogy and backdrop, this 2-hour ethics CLE will discuss changes, or the lack of changes, in selected professional rules and the driving policy considerations underlying what might be characterized as ethics evolution by some and stagnation, devolution, or “apocalypse” for the profession by others as related to the following topics:

 

  • The (d)evolution from the doctrine of champerty to the acceptance for contingency fee work and litigation funding.
  • The (d)evolution from the need to strictly safeguard a lawyer’s professional independence from non-lawyer ownership and management to (some) tolerance for non-lawyer involvement in management or potentially law firm ownership.
  • The (d)evolution from bans on lawyer advertising to rules that broaden the ways in which lawyers may share information about legal services.
  • A shift from encouraging “zealous” representations and prioritizing client confidentiality and loyalty toward rules and laws emphasizing civility and conscripting lawyers to amplified gatekeeping duties.
  • The (d)evolution from full-service lawyers and law firms to unbundled legal services and artificial intelligence.
  • The rise of client-generated engagement letters and outside counsel guidelines.
  • State-by-state licensing and regulation of lawyers.

Join us for a 2-hour Patent intensive presentation.  Patent law has become increasingly important as technological innovation growth has accelerated. Most companies will face patent law issues at some point, whether in developing a patent portfolio, facing accusations of patent infringement, or licensing technology. The challenge for non-patent attorneys is facing a combination of technology and a field of law that can both be dauntingly complex. 

The first hour of the program will offer in-house counsel an overview of patent basics for newcomers to the field.    The second hour will offer a deeper dive into recent developments in patent law and key issues for those in-house counsel already having some exposure to patent law, in particular in technologies including life sciences/biotech and IT. 

Please join us for just one or both hours of this event.  

Agenda: 
12:00 pm – 1:00 pm – Patent Overview 
1:00 pm – 2:00 pm – Patent Law Recent Developments/Key Issues  

Presented by Rouget Frederic Henschel, Partner and Amanda Baker, Counsel at Potomac Law Group and David Beck, Chief IP Counsel and Vice President at VIAVI Solutions LLC.


2.0 Hours of VA MCLE pending.
