'Pursing legal excellence using metrics - TWE's journey'

There is conclusive evidence of business performance increasing for those organisations that measure operational activity using data and metrics. However, the adoption by the legal industry of performance metrics has been relatively slow in comparison to other sectors. This presentation will provide an insight into TWE’s journey in developing a unique system that applies performance metrics and continuous improvement principles from wine production to legal practice.

10:00am Morning tea break

10:30am Session 5: Rachel Triggs, Legal Counsel, Wine Australia 'Australian Regulatory Update'

One of Wine Australia’s functions is to maintain the truth and the reputation for truthfulness of Australian wine. To achieve this object, Wine Australia administers the label integrity program and regulates the use of geographical indications and other terms pursuant to the Australian Grape and Wine Authority Act 2013. This session will examine the interpretation of the false and misleading provisions under Part VIB of the Act and revisit various rules around the use of business names containing GIs, pre-existing trade mark rights, and the use of terms such as ‘Burgundian clones’, ‘French oak’, ‘Sparkling’, ‘Pinots’, ‘Cabernets’ and ‘Apera’.

11:30am Session 6: Owen Malone and Anna Gibson 'The Counterfeit and Misappropriation Challenge'

The significant expansion and success of our business globally takes TWE squarely into the murky and challenging world of piracy, counterfeiting and general legal risk in business transactions.   The purpose of this presentation is to increase understanding of the significant issues and how risk can be sustainably mitigated to a level that does not severely impact our business plans and strategic objectives.    

12:30pm Lunch

1:30pm Session 7: Steve Guy, General Manager of Regulatory Services, Wine Australia 'International forums - WTF?'

OIV, WWTG, FIVS, APEC, WRF and WTS. Many in Australia struggle to differentiate our domestic bodies, AGWA, WFA, WGGA, AWRI etc, so they have little chance with this array of acronyms. But what do these international bodies all do? (if anything). This presentation will update you on the latest developments at these international wine forums.
