Market-Standard clauses that appear in many business contracts (e.g. choice of law clauses, integration clauses, fee-shifting clauses) often do not work as intended when tested in the court room. This seminar identifies those clauses that are the subject of repeat litigation, and makes practical drafting suggestions that will reduce the risk of contract disputes. The session will help you learn to draft commercial contracts that minimize the risk of fraud claims; allocate the risk of vague or ambiguous clauses; clarify the scope of indemnifications; better protect confidential information; avoid waivers of contract rights; better specify what damages can and cannot be recovered; refine the circumstances in which performance is excused; and improve upon dispute clauses.

The U.S. Supreme Court's 2005 landmark decision in United States v. Booker fundamentally changed sentencing in federal criminal cases. In Booker the Court held that mandatory application of the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines was unconstitutional, while preserving their place in the sentencing process. Since Booker, the Supreme Court has offered additional guidance on the proper role of the sentencing guidelines in individual sentencing in Rita v. United States, Kimbrough v. United States, Gall v. United States and Nelson v. United States. And recently, the United States Sentencing Commission has made efforts to tabulate both sentencing data and the views of sentencing judges to help it make necessary reforms to the Guidelines. This year's program highlights the major developments of the last year with an eye toward anticipating future areas of change. The program will provide an overview of the current legal landscape as it relates to sentencing in federal criminal cases, with an emphasis on recent decisions and Guidelines amendments. The panelists will offer specific, practical advice for attorneys representing defendants at each stage of the sentencing process.

Responding to the financial crisis, the new Dodd-Frank Act has seriously ramped up the SEC Enforcement Division's reach and strength. Included are powerful new whistleblower provisions, easier standards for proving secondary liability, penalty awards in administrative proceedings, more expansive foreign jurisdiction, nationwide trial subpoenas - plus authorization to double the SEC's budget over five years. Counsel need to be aware of these major statutory changes, as well as how they interact with the SEC's new cooperation policy, specialized enforcement units and other internal changes over the last year. Featured will be Joan McKown, who left the SEC in July after almost two decades as the Chief Counsel of the Enforcement Division and who will shortly join Jones Day LLP. She and the other panelists, all former SEC senior officers, will assess the changes and suggest strategies for counsel to respond to the new enforcement environment at the SEC. The program will be video-linked with the DC Bar and offer presenters live in both New York and Washington, D.C.
