During this presentation, a seasoned panel will discuss the challenges faced by prime and subcontractors in the federal marketplace.  Topics will include effective (back-to-back) flow-down of prime contract provisions, exclusivity restrictions, and appropriately-scoped employee non-solicitation and intellectual property provisions. We will discuss these and other common issues that arise in a prime-subcontractor relationship, the importance of a well-drafted subcontract, review some case studies and provide real-world examples of the good, the bad and the ugly of contract drafting as well as provide our thoughts on best practices.

Presented by Paul A. Debolt, Taylor S. Chapman, and Dismas Locaria, Partners with Venable LLP, Kendall A. Lucas, Principal and Associate General Counsel, and Government & Public Serviced (GPS) Federal OGC Leader at Deloitte, and Christian Scott, Associate General Counsel at Vectrus.

Data is that heart of model-based enterprise – how do we manage and use it effectively? 

Generating, using, and sharing of data is critical to a model-based enterprise. How do you use intellectual property tools to manage and use data while also complying with the myriad of laws and regulations that govern its use? How do we make sure our data usage and collection is compliant with various cybersecurity and privacy regulations, including at the state, federal and international level? 

Please join your friends and colleagues for our first Summer Sippin' Event (formally known as Thirsty Thursday) hosted by our ACC Social Committee chair, Kathy Yates, at The Dakota East Side Ice House.

Bring your best thinking hat because you will also be "served up" riddles with a prize going to the person who answers the most correctly. See you there!

You are invited to attend our June CLE luncheon- in-person at Paesanos Lincoln Heights or via Zoom.

As focus shifts away from COVID-19, companies now confront a changed legal landscape under the employee-friendly Biden Administration with a noted uptick in the aggressiveness of various federal agencies.  The NLRB, EEOC, and DOL announced their intention to team up in combatting retaliation against employees, while the DOJ and FTC are targeting restrictive covenants, wage theft and misclassification cases. In addition to reviewing agency developments, Ogletree attorneys Larry Smith and Tiffany Cox Stacy will provide an update on key employment law developments both at the federal and state level, including issues of sexual harassment, arbitration agreements, and pay equity/transparency, as well as on recent court decisions.

Please feel free to pass this invitation on to other individuals within in your organization who would like to learn more about this subject! 

Join your colleagues and ACC San Diego members for a frosty pint and some in-person networking!

Presented by Paul, Plevin, Sullivan & Connaughton LLP

According to recent studies, women and people of color are less likely to have internal sponsors to guide their professional development and promotion within organizations.  This session will provide a road map for individuals to chart an effective path for personal professional development by a) focusing on self-awareness and competency development, b) soliciting critical performance feedback, and c) identifying creative options for building executive skills and professional networks.  

The session will be informed by the respected and insightful Birkman Method, a proprietary instrument to better understand interpersonal dynamics and achieve higher performance through positive psychology. This report provides you with the most robust understanding of who you are. There is no additional cost to ACC member registrants for this added value of an individual Birkman Signature report to learn more about your personal psychometrics and how they impact your professional development. If you register for this program and would like a personalized Birkman Signature report,
please email Miguell@theasterconsulting.com  
to request your individual survey prior to the session on July 27. The survey will take approximately twenty (20) minutes to complete, and it will take approximately one day or so to receive your personalized report. The speakers will discuss the Birkman method generally during the presentation to assist participants in interpreting their individual reports.  

Key Takeaways:

1. How to position yourself as high potential talent.

2. How to identify personal talent development needs through a lens of experience, competencies, and personal style.
