With the recent high-profile insolvencies in banking and other industries, it’s essential for companies to have disciplined processes and contractual protections in place in the event of financial distress with a supplier, customer or other critical party. We will discuss rights, remedies and practical strategies from a bankruptcy and collections perspective to ensure adherence to payment terms and mitigate delinquencies.

Employers are turning to technology at warp speed, to enhance the efficiency of various personnel processes, minimize cost, and reach decisions more quickly. Whether utilizing selection devices that rely on artificial intelligence, including machine learning, to make initial selection decisions or mining their own data to run predictive attrition analyses, employers are relying on technology to inform or even drive their human resources practices. Against this backdrop, regulators at the national, state and local level are wrestling with how to regulate such use of technology to ensure the absence of algorithmic bias or other forms of discrimination.
In this session, we will explore the current landscape and emerging statutory schemes, including the New York City law regulating the use of “Automated Employment Decision Tools” and parallel efforts underway in California, that will govern the use of such technology. We will also discuss the real-life, litigation-related impacts of the move to greater reliance on technology in the workplace.
Presented by Kris Meade and Trina Fairley Barlow, Partners and Jillian Ambrose, Counsel at Crowell and Moring and Bart Barre, Assistant General Counsel, Labor and Employment Law at Northrop Grumman Corporation.

The annual State of the Corporate Law Department Report from Thomson Reuters has seen a shift in Legal Department priorities over the last few years, with compliance & regulatory requirements rising to the top, followed closely by risk management, data privacy & cost control. What's more, 65% of corporate law departments are experiencing increasing matter volumes, while 59% are dealing with flat if not decreasing budgets. In an environment where you're constantly being asked to do more with less, how do you prioritize while also driving the greatest value for your organization? And as we all know, it's hard to know how to best manage priorities and what tools are available to help lighten the load.
Please plan to join ACC Northeast and Thomson Reuters for this in-depth/in-person roundtable discussion that will attempt to tackle these challenges. Learn about:
Data driven insights around the shifting key challenges law departments are facing across the country;
Actionable best practices including, how to shift outside counsel spend to realize cost savings while not sacrificing quality, how to sustainably bring more work in-house, and how to partner legal with legal ops to measure and track the value of efficiency changes;
How to take advantage of technology to solve key challenges and lighten the load with tools like Practical Law & Legal Tracker.
There will be a Networking Reception immediately following the one hour discussion. Don't miss this opportunity to learn from Thomson Reuters professionals and your peers.
