Topic:

Arbitration Strategy: Embrace It or Avoid It, Considerations for In-House Counsel

 

Does your company have a comprehensive arbitration strategy as part of its overall risk management efforts? If not, it probably should. This presentation is designed to highlight and engender discussion of the primary issues that should be considered in adopting such a strategy, and to provide background information pertinent to a better understanding of those issues. There is no “one size fits all” when it comes to arbitration agreements and the provisions included are extremely important to the outcomes. While managing a case through arbitration is different than court litigation, its finality can be just as binding.

 

Speakers:

Kari Metzger, Partner, Tampa Office

Blake Bonsack, Associate, Tampa Office

Topic:

Corporate U.S. Immigration Program Management: A Guide for In-House Counsel

 

This program will discuss key issues in-house counsel should understand even if they don't specialize in immigration, such as why some foreign nationals require sponsorship while others don't, best practices for corporate immigration program management, and issues the company and its employees may face following the 2024 presidential election.

 

Speakers:

Emily Shircel & Cynthia Akinmeji

By participating in this one-of-a-kind seminar, you will come away empowered to speak with confidence about securities and financial disclosure matters with fellow c-suite executives and directors.  

This program is limited to 12 participants and highly customized to individual participants' unique business contexts.
