The faculty will explain financings (attracting financing, private placements, IPOs), structural issues (business partner and employee issues, stock options and M&A advice), SEC compliance and stock exchange issues (private placements and Reg. D offerings, deregistration, de-listing from stock exchanges, governance issues) and industry-specific issues (Internet startups, social media, healthcare, fashion, finance, etc.) High growth companies have a lot of complicated legal issues, and this program will focus on helping attorneys broaden their skills to advise them.

Our everyday valuable internet tools which we use, can be minefields for the unwitting attorney, whose conduct is governed by a host of ethics rules and regulations not applicable to other online users.
In recent months, attorneys have been reprimanded, fined, and otherwise sanctioned for comments they have made on blogs, on the grounds that they have breached their ethical obligations. Judges too have found themselves in hot water over their use of social media sites. The panel will explore what ethical issues an attorney should keep in mind when commenting on a blog, and how the rules of professional conduct, as well as rules pertaining to attorney advertising, might bear on what an attorney says about him or herself on such sites as Facebook or Twitter. The panel will also address ethical issues raised when attorneys seek to obtain discovery from social network sites.

This course designed to convey fundamental-but often unconsidered-principles to assist both newly admitted and seasoned attorneys with drafting, analyzing, and interpreting contracts. Unlike many other contract-drafting courses, this course focuses on the manner in which concepts are expressed in a contract, rather than the substance of any provision or contract in particular. Topics include: the importance of language in contracts; categories of contract language (including language of performance, obligations, prohibitions, discretionary language, representations, acknowledgments, and language of policy); the distinction between "shall," "will," and "must"; conditional language; language of exception and subordination; the concept of "deemed"; references to time; ambiguities associated with "and" and "or"; and legal archaisms.

Discussion topics will include:
How to distinguishing between "defense" communications & "coverage" communications, How sharing information with businesspeople (such as brokers or claims handlers) affects privileges, How the presence of multiple insureds with conflicting interests affects privileges, How insurance companies can evaluate coverage claims without waiving privileges and how to deal with reinsurers
