The agenda is being finalized for the coming year and will be updated when available.

Nick Welle, Jennifer Belveal, and Whitney Swart of Foley and Lardner LLP will review the key issues facing companies in a Post-Dobbs world. Among the questions to be explored are: Can companies fund out of state travel for abortion care for their employees? What are the risks of criminal penalties for companies who do so?  The webinar will provide in-house counsel the information they need to minimize corporate risks when it comes to abortion-related services. 

OVERVIEW

Why is it important to understand the anatomy of a patent? How do patents work and what can be done with them? At its most basic, a patent is a form of intellectual property (IP) protection that gives its owner the right to exclude others from making, using, or selling the invention covered by it. Patents are crucial to encouraging innovation because of their societal role as they allow creators to monetize their work. If you are curious about patents, or know someone who is, now is the opportunity to learn the basics of patents and get answers to all your burning questions about patent law by attending “Patents 101.”

During the presentation our hosts will cover:

• Background
   
• Patent FAQs
   
• Types of U.S. Patent Applications
   
• Requirements for Patentability in U.S.
   
• Prosecution in the U.S.

SPEAKERS

Samuel Borodach, Principal, Fish & Richardson

OVERVIEW

Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed and don’t know where to start? Are you a serial procrastinator? Do you find yourself easily distracted? All of these are signs of executive functioning deficits. Surprisingly, many high achieving attorneys suffer from ADHD and other executive functioning challenges which make it difficult to plan, prioritize, organize, and focus. The pandemic created an increased reliance on email and changed our work routines making lawyers’ day-to-day tasks even more complex. Join Cozen O’Connor’s Sarah Schlossberg and Michael Schmidt for a discussion on how to create new habits to increase productivity and balance your many professional and personal responsibilities.

After the discussion stay for a wine and cheese tasting hosted by Lifetime Vintage.

ACC Northeast Chapter & Corporate Pro Bono have teamed up once more, to offer our members a bi-monthly forum to discuss and share ideas, information and questions concerning the development and implementation of in-house Pro Bono programs. While this forum is open to all ACC Northeast members, we envision it as an informal, small group gathering to help support and promote in-house Pro Bono activities and foster open discussion and dialogue.
 
These 30-minute sessions will provide an opportunity for members to have a free flowing conversation on all things Pro Bono. Members of ACC Northeast Pro Bono & Civic Engagement Committee, along with leaders of Corporate Pro Bono, will be on hand to facilitate the discussion and share best practices and resources.
 
We hope you will join us for these sessions, bring your questions, and engage with us and other ACC Northeast as we connect with each other and learn from each other's experiences. The first two dates are planned for September 20, 2022 and November 15, 2022.  Sessions will start at 4:30 p.m.

Please email northeast-administrator@acc.com to register.

All ACC South Carolina Chapter members welcome.

Post-Pandemic Remote Work: A Productivity Boom or a Collaboration Destroyer? The Advantages and Pitfalls of Remote, Hybrid, and In-Person Models

In this interactive discussion, we will examine whether the conventional wisdom – that employees are more productive but less collaborative when working remotely – has proven to be true. Join attorneys from Littler’s South Carolina office to engage in a meaningful conversation regarding trends in post-pandemic workforces, and both the advantages and pitfalls of remote, hybrid, and in-person models. As companies continue to implement strategies for transitioning back to in-person work environments, we will explore the legal challenges that can arise, and how to effectively keep your workforce engaged and productive.
