 Agenda:

12:00 - 12:30 pm - Lunch and networking (in-person)

12:30 pm - 2:00 pm - Panel Presentation (in-person and via webcast)

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to ban almost all post-employment non-compete agreements and the FTC is expected to vote on a final rule in 2024. The May 30, 2023 National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) Guidance opines that most non-competes for non-supervisors violate federal law. Numerous states have proposed or are proposing legislation to ban non-competes, such as the Minnesota law going into effect on July 1, 2023. These laws also interplay with the Defend Trade Secrets Act, unfair competition laws as well as antitrust concerns. This CLE will explain the competing business, employee, and governmental interests related to non-competes with a focus on how businesses should best prepare for the current and upcoming changes. We will discuss best practices that companies should follow now regarding restrictive covenants, including non-competes and non-solicitation agreements.

 

Presented by Carrie Amezcua, Counsel, and Jaime Tuite, Shareholder, at Buchanan, Ingersoll and Rooney and Michael Robic, Vice President, Deputy General Counsel at Highmark Health.

When a company announces the sale, purchase, or restructuring of a business unit or entity, a company’s supplier contracts and contract practices will come into focus for large-scale analysis and remediation. Multiple stakeholders involved in the contracting process will be pulled out of their daily routine to prepare information on the Company’s Contracts. This session will focus on the legal department’s role in that process and how to prepare for a transaction or restructuring before it is announced or even contemplated.

In today’s fast-moving environment, companies must plan for the next crisis or risk falling behind. A corporate crisis can unfold over the course of a few hours on social media and rapidly generate media attention, litigation, state and federal regulatory inquiries, and—quite often—an “invitation” to testify before Congress. In this webinar we will discuss practical steps to prevent and prepare for a potential crisis.

This includes:

· Assessing potential risks to your organization and taking steps to minimize those risks;

· Preparing for the unexpected, including designating a cross-functional rapid response team;

· Creating a plan for consistent internal and external communications—even as fact development is ongoing; and

· Navigating investigations and parallel proceedings.

· Guidance on maintaining attorney-client privilege, or planning ahead for selective waiver of privilege 

· Role of in-house counsel in a crisis – is legal the quarterback of the offense, or just one of numerous players

Presented by Ed O’Callaghan and Alyssa DaCunha, Partners at WilmerHale and Todd Aman, Senior Vice President, General Counsel & Secretary at FiscalNote.

1.5 Hours of VA MCLE pending.
