Our Business Litigation Practice invites you to our Seventh Annual Business Litigation Forum, a refreshed take on our popular "Year in Review." Join us for lunch, three hours of CLE, and a happy hour at Norfolk Hall in Charlotte on February 27. This year, we are moving beyond state lines and the rearview mirror to provide forward-looking insights into three critical areas shaping today’s legal landscape:
-
Class Action Combat: Early Strategies for Corporate Counsel - A view from the trenches of class action defense, where early planning and collaboration can be critical for success. Parker Poe attorneys, joined by Demetri Blaisdell, Litigation Counsel at The New York Times, will share insights and strategies for navigating the complexities of class action litigation.
-
They Call it a Pub, We Call it the Bar: Ethics Quiz - Test your ethics knowledge in this interactive quiz featuring pop culture clips and multiple-choice questions. Compete in teams, learn from lively discussions, and leave with a sharper understanding of ethics.
-
Turning Gold Dust Into Gold Bars: What, Why, and How to Identify and Protect Your Trade Secrets - Parker Poe attorneys, joined by Maria Minsker, Deputy General Counsel and Vice President of Sunbelt Rentals, will discuss the growing importance of trade secrets and the challenges of protecting them in today’s uber-competitive and quickly evolving business landscape. Together, they will share practical ideas and strategies for businesses to protect their own trade secrets and help manage risk related to third parties’ trade secrets, incorporating insights from both outside and in-house counsel perspectives.
