This session will help in-house counsel triage and evaluate and understand some of the main IP clauses that arise on a day-to-day basis without necessarily being IP focused

AI tools can improve speed and quality in business decision-making, but they also introduce unique contracting issues. Vendors may update models frequently, rely on third-party components, and may seek broad rights in customer inputs and usage data. Negotiating of AI terms and conditions therefore requires careful allocation of risk and clear guardrails around intellectual property, confidentiality, data use and deletion. In this session, we will walk through key terms to address in AI vendor agreements and discuss practical approaches to minimize risk with rapidly evolving AI capabilities.

Today’s in‑house counsel are expected to do more than “review the contract.” They’re risk strategists, deal accelerators, and the first line of defense when something goes sideways. This four‑part series follows up on the intro level 2025 Contracts & Negotiations Master Class Series.​ Providing "201" level guidance, this series is built for attorneys who already know the basics and want to level up—moving from issue‑spotting to shaping contracts that anticipate problems, align with business realities, and stand up under scrutiny. Each session dives into a high‑impact contracting area where in‑house lawyers routinely face pressure, ambiguity, and evolving risk. The focus is practical, actionable, and grounded in the day‑to‑day realities of supporting a business.

Representations, warranties, and covenants are primary sources of litigation because they allocate risk and define liability for breaches in commercial contracts. Litigation often arises from disputes over whether a statement was a factual representation (present) or a covenant (future promise), with issues typically involving inaccuracy, materiality, survival periods, and the limits of indemnification. In this sessions, we will look at the fundamental legal concepts behind representations, warranties, and covenants and cover common ways to minimize litigation risk.

Organizations are moving quickly to adopt AI across the business. While your leadership may be pushing to use AI everywhere now, the task of putting the necessary compliance, risk, data quality, and data security measures in place can feel daunting, if not overwhelming. This webinar breaks AI readiness into practical, manageable steps, so organizations can focus on the most important measures to implement now while building a strong foundation for broader AI use over time. We examine the different stages of AI adoption, including early experimentation with tools such as ChatGPT, the use of Copilot, and more advanced deployments such as agentic RAG. For each stage, we outline the policies, processes, and data capabilities needed to responsibly and effectively support that level of use. Come away with a clear checklist for assessing your current state, identifying gaps, and understanding how each stage builds on previous ones to create a scalable and sustainable AI readiness program.

Description to come.

When an employee raises concerns about potential fraud, billing practices, or government compliance, the legal risk may extend far beyond the underlying allegation. False Claims Act retaliation claims continue to expand, fueled by broad interpretations of “protected activity,” including amongst employees, increased DOJ attention to whistleblower protections, and growing employee awareness. This program will help in-house counsel by providing practical guidance for navigating the critical period after a complaint is made. We will examine recent litigation trends, evolving DOJ enforcement priorities, and how retaliation claims are being pleaded and proved. The session will also provide concrete best practices for minimizing exposure — including documentation strategies, manager training, investigation protocols, and coordination between legal, HR, and compliance teams. Finally, we will analyze common defense strategies, including challenges to protected activity, knowledge and causation defenses, legitimate business justifications, and early dispositive motion opportunities. Attendees will leave with actionable tools to reduce risk, strengthen defensibility, and manage FCA retaliation claims before they escalate into costly litigation.
