Please join Akin and the Association of Corporate Counsel Southern California for an informative program on choice of law and forum selection considerations in commercial contract drafting. We will focus on the state contract laws and interpretation principles of five key states: California, Delaware, Florida, New York and Texas. The presentation will analyze each state’s substantive contract law and interpretation principles, with a focus on the types of provisions and breaches that companies are most likely to encounter. The choice of law and forum selection considerations discussed as part of the presentation may be used:

  • To determine whether any of the key states’ laws should or should not be      chosen in a contractual choice of law provision.
  • To evaluate potential forums for litigating disputes—specifically, arbitration vs. courts in the key states.
  • As an initial reference to aid in determining business and litigation strategies should a contractual dispute arise or be anticipated.

 

A cocktail and networking reception will follow on the outdoor patio of Espelette, Waldorf Astoria’s signature restaurant, serving coastal Mediterranean fare.

Complimentary valet parking will be provided.

 

This program is approved for MCLE credit by the State Bar of California in the amount of 1.0 credit hour.
