Yet, even as the field of data privacy evolves there are certain recurring questions regardless of the size of the organization, location, or industry.

In this presentation we will explore these and other frequently asked questions and topics.

Use of M&A Insurance Solutions to Improve Deal Outcomes

Kick-start your ACC MN New Year with a delicious breakfast and a CLE program at the JW Marriott Mall of America Hotel on Thursday, January 19, 2023.

The use of M&A (primarily Representation & Warranty Insurance, or RWI) has changed the manner in which M&A transactions are protected. The use of other M&A Insurance solutions such as tax insurance and litigation buyout insurance have also increased in usage. We will explore how these solutions are used on transactions. We will also discuss what we have seen with respect to claims activity on RWI policies.

8:15 AM - 9:15 AM | CLE program

9:15 AM - 9:45 AM | Networking

From innovation and adaptability to geopolitical issues, global companies have many considerations whether expanding across borders or managing their existing global footprint. The future of change has led to corporate legal departments facing new and emerging trends and risks, while also strategizing business opportunities and growth.

At Doing Business Globally, you will hear from experienced business leaders, in-house counsel and Baker McKenzie practitioners discussing the most prominent legal and operational challenges for global businesses, including:

  • Cybersecurity risk, readiness and response
  • Mobile employees and remote working
  • Global M&A trends
  • Embracing global inclusion, diversity and equity
  • Evolving tax positive strategies for global investment
  • Trade secrets in domestic and global supply chains

In Q2 2022, there were more material joint ventures announced than any other prior quarter on record, and we expect JVs to play a pivotal role in the coming year during market uncertainty.  And yet, it is estimated that at least 40% - and as much as 70% - of all joint ventures fail.  

Join us as we walk through the key planning aspects of a joint venture, areas in which to focus your client's attention, drive for success, and prepare them for the statistical inevitable.
