(Course Materials) Securities Litigation: Updates on Developments Post-Morrison

Members:   $105.00 Non-Members:   $135.00

• Click here to register
•  In Morrison v. National Australia Bank, the Supreme Court held that Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 only applies to "transactions in securities listed on domestic exchanges and domestic transactions in other securities." In announcing its ruling, the Supreme Court overturned the "conduct" and "effects" tests, which had been standing precedent for over 40 years, leaving many questions unanswered. Since Morrison, federal courts have been grappling with how to interpret this groundbreaking holding. This program will address how Morrison has and will continue to alter the landscape for securities litigation in federal courts. A panel of experienced practitioners and academics will discuss the practical effect, implications and trends arising out of the Morrison decision.

•  The analytic reasoning process used in drafting a contract is different from the one used in writing a persuasive document -- whether a memo or a brief. Rather than applying the law to the facts, a deal lawyer translates the client’s business concerns into legal concepts and then into contract provisions. This class is devoted primarily to teaching participants this skill. In addition, the workshop shows participants how the underlying structure of agreements is similar and how representations and warranties, covenants, and conditions precedent reflect the business deal. Finally, the participants learn a vocabulary that they can use when discussing contracts and business issues.

• Click here to view event details
•  Negotiation is one of the most important skills a lawyer can possess. There are daily opportunities to negotiate whether in the context of a transaction, the settlement of a litigation matter, a fee agreement, or a raise. Everyone negotiates. Not everyone negotiates effectively. This course is for the experienced as well as for the novice negotiator. The intuitive negotiator will become more mindful and deliberate by acquiring a conscious understanding of what works and why. The novice negotiator will learn the newest and most effective framework for conducting negotiations. This course will explore various styles of negotiation, effective communication techniques, developing a negotiation plan, managing a negotiation, dealing with tactics, and closing the deal. Lawyers engaged in negotiation continue to be subject to the Code of Professional Responsibility. Recent studies have demonstrated that few practitioners, even those who are experienced, understand how the Code should be applied in the area of negotiation where dissembling is commonplace. This course contains an ethical component to provide guidance on where to draw the line between acceptable and risky conduct.

•  White collar criminal prosecutions continue to dominate the legal landscape and the headlines. In particular, prosecutors and regulators are focusing on market abuse cases, such as insider trading, and the dangers presented to corporations and individuals from cyber crime. White collar defendants continue to face severe consequences if charges are brought, in the form of massive fines and substantial prison sentences, making effective pre-indictment advocacy increasingly important. Once charges are brought, technology is transforming the process of criminal discovery, particularly for corporate defendants. And ethical traps, both on the government side and the defense side, are everywhere, requiring careful focus for all of the lawyers involved. The White Collar Crime Committee has assembled a comprehensive full-day program that will explore these and other critical developments that have characterized this new era of white collar enforcement. Our keynote speakers will be Cyrus R. Vance, Jr., Manhattan District Attorney and Loretta E. Lynch, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York. Our panels will include senior government enforcement officials, judges, academics, general counsel of leading New York-based corporations and financial institutions, and top practitioners in the field. Plenary sessions will focus on the media’s impact on prosecutorial decision-making in white collar criminal cases, and also on what works and doesn’t work during the critical phase of pre-indictment advocacy. Break-out sessions will focus on conflict of interest issues presented by white-collar corporate investigations, market abuse, including insider trading, recent important developments concerning criminal discovery, and the challenges faced both by the government and private sector in responding to cyber crime.

•  The art world and the art market are arguably in an unprecedented state of crisis. At a time when a number of multi-million dollar forgery schemes have been exposed, scholars and foundations are increasingly unwilling to assist in evaluating the authenticity of artworks. With prices in art markets reaching high points, lawsuits accusing dealers of breaching their fiduciary duties to buyers and sellers are also on the rise. Disputes among studio assistants and among artists are also on the rise as technology and culture create competing claims to images and the art itself. Art owners, buyers and sellers - from museums to collectors and even nations - fight increasingly in civil and criminal court about who owns works of art and cultural property. At this program, the Art Committee will convene a panel of knowledgeable attorneys and art world experts to discuss how the law as it now exists can be used to address the complex and fascinating issues confronting the art world at the intersection of law and culture.
