Best Practices for Software Companies to Protect Their “Secret Sauce” - February 9, 2016

Keeping What is Yours Yours: Best Practices for Software Companies to Protect Their “Secret Sauce”  

Sponsored by Robins Kaplan LLP


In today’s fast paced, if not neck-breaking, speed at which advancements in software development and platforms occur, one issue facing software companies is how to keep their competitors from obtaining the “secret sauce.” The protections available under patent law for software innovations has been significantly undercut by the Supreme Court’s decision in Alice Corp. v. CLS Bank Int’l. Yet, all hope is not lost. This webinar will provide insight and best practices into how software companies can utilize other intellectual property protections to keep the advantage over their competitors, such as copyright and trade secret protections. In addition, this webinar will discuss the potential impact of the current version of the Defend Trade Secrets Act making its way through Congress

The Co-investment Climate in Private Equity - February 10, 2016

The Co-investment Climate in Private Equity 

Sponsored by Pepper Hamilton LLP


Co-investments are an increasingly important component of capital used by private equity groups (PEGs) to fund acquisitions and represent an increasingly significant portion of this capital. This is one of the key findings of a new study sponsored by Pepper Hamilton LLP in association with Mergermarket, “Joining Forces: The Co-investment Climate in Private Equity,” which identified key data points illustrating some of the latest developments in co-investments.

Join us for a one-hour webinar that will look at the driving forces behind PEGs’ reliance on more co-investments, including the benefits and deal terms most often included in co-investment transactions. We will also discuss the challenges and complexities that co-investments bring to the table, including regulatory hurdles that must be overcome.

This webinar will feature two leaders of Pepper’s Commercial Department: Bruce K. Fenton, partner and head of the firm’s Investment Funds Industry Group and Private Equity Practice, and Julia D. Corelli, partner and head of the Funds Services Practice and co-chair of the Commercial Department.

Joining Mr. Fenton and Ms. Corelli will be Jason Mundt, principal at Siguler Guff, John P. Shoemaker, managing partner of Milestone Partners, and Michael Reinard of PeakEquity Partners to offer their perspectives on the benefits and challenges of co-investments in the private equity industry.

2016 E-Discovery Report: the View from the Bench - February 10, 2016

2016 E-Discovery Report: Views from Both Sides of the Bench

Sponsored by Bloomberg BNA  and Exterro

In today’s “Digital Age,” everything changes at lightning-speed and everyone is required to adapt quickly. In the world of eDiscovery, things are no different; being undereducated and underprepared is no longer an option.  However, an expectation gap still exists between what judges expect related to the process of eDiscovery and what attorneys think is appropriate, which is clearly shown in Exterro’s 2nd Annual Federal Judges Survey.  Like last year, we asked judges to participate, but to gain a broader view, this year we invited attorneys who specialize in e-discovery to weigh in on the same questions (Respondents: 14 Federal Judges, 22 Attorneys).  The results this year will give legal professionals an inside look on how judges and attorneys respond to the same e-discovery questions along with information to improve their pre-trial litigation practices in 2016.

Educational Objectives:
• Overview of survey results around the FRCP eDiscovery amendments, general eDiscovery competency in the legal market and the effects of other emerging technology trends (mobile, social media, cloud) on litigation practices.
• Panelists from both sides of the bench, judge and attorney, will compare and contrast the attorney and judges responses, enabling attendees to see where the major gaps in eDiscovery occur.
• Best practices and tips to improve your litigation process that will help secure defensibility around eDiscovery activities without increasing legal spend.

    In-House Counsel Ethics - 1-1/2 Ethics - February 25, 2016

    Recent Ethics Opinions that In-House Counsel Should Not Overlook

    Sponsored by Bloomberg BNA

    Over the last decade, how lawyers practice law has changed considerably as the use of electronic records, social media, and outsourcing continues to evolve and expand.  Bar associations across the country are issuing ethics opinions addressing how the Rules of Professional Conduct apply to these and other issues that in-house counsel face every day.  But, most lawyers do not read ethics opinions and some of the opinions are in conflict.  This program will focus on the most significant ethics opinions issued over the course of the last ten years that impact how in-house lawyers practice law and what those opinions mean for the practice of law by in-house counsel.

    Among other topics, the program will discuss limits on the use of metadata, the application of the attorney-client privilege to internal communications and employee’s personal use of corporate computers, restrictions on assisting clients to communicate with other parties, problems with in-house counsel whistle-blower’s use of confidential information, the identification of various conflicts that arise in corporate representation, limitations on the use of social media, and the obligations that come with outsourcing.

    Educational Objectives:
    • Learn what practices corporations may have been following that can lead to ethics problems in such areas as assisting corporate executives negotiate business agreements.  
    • Learn how to better to protect the rights of clients by creating corporate polices on such things as the corporation’s right to materials on corporate computers.
