The Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC) is the world's largest organization serving the professional and business interests of attorneys who practice in the legal departments of corporations, associations, nonprofits and other private-sector organizations around the globe.
As in-house counsel, you are expected to stay on top of a myriad of legal issues. Pierce Atwood and ACC Northeast are pleased to present our next Maine program that will inform you of the top four things you need to be on top of in these areas of critical importance: privacy and data security, employment law, intellectual property rights, and litigation and disputes. A panel of four Pierce Atwood attorneys and moderator, Kelly Whetstone, Deputy General Counsel at ACA Group, will cover these topics, and then we want to answer your questions. We want this to be informative and interactive, so please come prepared to fire away!
Three Things Every In-house Counsel Should Know About:
Privacy and data security with Vivek Rao
Employment law with Katie Porter
Intellectual property rights with Michael Hernandez
Litigation and disputes with Katherine Kayatta
Please join us on Tuesday, May 2nd, for this interactive program beginning at 5:00 pm. The program will be pre-approved for Maine continuing legal education credits, and a networking reception will follow the program.

If structuring and negotiating international transactions is not difficult enough, the intricate web of U.S. laws and regulations that govern the export of goods and services are complicated, fraught with risk, and enough to make the most sophisticated in-house lawyer’s head spin. We will simplify and distill these laws and regulations and provide simple and straightforward guidance on how to pragmatically approach the export licensing process.
Everything from export classification, to the licensing analysis, to exceptions and exemptions, to the various licensing vehicles offered by the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls at the U.S Department of State and the Bureau of Industry and Security at the U.S. Department of Commerce, to the export license application process, and export license provisos will be discussed. Along the way, we will highlight common pitfalls and practical strategies for licensing success!
Presented by Adam Munitz, Partner and member of FH+H's International Trade + Transactions practice and Katherine “Kitty” Pongratz, Director, Contracts & International Trade Compliance at Optics 1 Inc.
