WELCOME & ANNOUNCEMENTS  (5 MINUTES)

Crafting and Negotiating IP Provisions in Commercial Agreements  (60 MINUTES)
Join experienced transactional counsel to discuss and learn the nuances of drafting and negotiating IP provisions across a variety of commercial contexts. We will cover the gamut of “day to day” commercial transactions (e.g., subscriptions, licensing, supply chain, professional services, etc.) as well as IP provisions in M&A, joint venture and other “non-ordinary course” transactions. Areas of focus will include IP representations and warranties, indemnification, confidentiality and the interplay between the provisions; where and how data and analytics fit into the IP conversation; IP due diligence; risk allocation and mitigation and the business effects of enforcing IP provision in commercial and M&A transactions.
– Katheryn A. Andresen

Attendees will walk away with an improved knowledge of both the obstacles and opportunities of doing business abroad from legal practitioners well-versed and steeped in global supply chain transactions.

A Litigator’s Perspective on Drafting Key Provisions – How to Avoid Common Mistakes that Promote and Prolong Litigation  (60 MINUTES)

– Michael M. Krauss

When a Contract Goes Bad, But Both Parties Still Need Each Other  (60 MINUTES)
Experienced practitioners discuss a common, tricky situation – how to move forward when a contractual relationship is on the rocks, but the parties still need to work together for the foreseeable future. How might a party negotiate its way to better – or at least acceptable – terms including when it’s the party with less leverage? How do you wind up a contract over mission critical services/products?
– Kathy Bray, Kaniah Whitehorn Konkoly-Thege & Mark Privratsky
– Daniel D. Santos (moderator)
