PLENARY SESSION:

Managing the Millennials: The Challenges of a Youthful WorkforceEvery employer faces the new and unique challenges presented by a youthful workforce. Workers ranging in age from 16 to their mid-20’s are distinct from their older colleagues in many ways: in the way they interact with the world via social media, in the way they communicate with other employees, and in their lack of experience and training. Yet, they also offer their fresh perspectives on problem solving and the work-life balance. These younger workers present not only challenges to their employers but also great opportunities. During this session, the panel will discuss what makes this generation of workers different, the variety of legal issues for which the Millennials present unique challenges and advice on how to deal with them, and management tips for getting the most from younger employees.

Herding Cats: Troublesome Witnesses, Black Robes and Difficult Opposing Counsel

You know the story: the executive has been noticed for deposition and wants nothing to do with testifying, cooperating or looking out for the best interests of the company. On the other side is a plaintiff’s lawyer who has a taste for blood, a desire to embarrass and a flair for the dramatic. There are challenges in preparation and at the deposition. We won’t just talk about those challenges, we will show you. Join corporate counsel and ALFA International lawyers for a lively demonstration and discussion of problems we all fear, but all can expect to deal with.

Pre-employment Screening and Behavioral Forecasting: Risk Avoidance or Exposure to New Risk?

Businesses have long employed testing to aid in the decision-making process for hiring, advancement and retention of employees. By using behavior modeling, personality tests, competency mapping, cognitive skills testing, drug and alcohol screening, physical capacities evaluations and medical examinations, employers can obtain data which assists in identifying and vetting candidates who are a good fit with organizational goals. Some industries are required by regulation to perform qualification testing in safety sensitive occupations. Although testing can assist in predicting a candidate’s potential for performance and reliability to fill a particular role and many employers attest to the success of using such tools to separate the wheat from the chaff (i.e., those persons of high quality from those of lower quality), this panel will delve into the effectiveness of such programs and how they can create potential legal liability.

DEFCON 5: Building Templates for Responses to Unforeseeable Business Catastrophes

THE CALL….The dreaded call in the middle of the night. Or on the weekend. Or during lunch. Or when you are on the beach, sipping from a drink with a paper umbrella. Or when you are sitting in trial. Or when [FILL IN THE BLANK]. Major events or incidents come to virtually any business. THE CALL comes with no regard to your schedule or your commitments. The key to successfully navigating your business through the obstacles presented by THE CALL don’t begin at the moment you receive it – it is the result of thoughtful planning and strategic decisions made long before THE CALL is ever placed. This interactive discussion will provide unique perspectives from varied industries on crisis management and early investigation and response – a discussion of how best to prepare for and respond to catastrophic events that put the business at risk, whether the risk be financial or reputational.

TRACKONE Keep it Under Control: Management of Litigation by Metric Analysis

This program will focus on the use of historical litigation data to drive the decision-making process for the development of litigation strategy. Client questions about litigation management are always the same: how likely are we to win? How much will it cost? How long will it take? The answers vary from case to case, but the metrics exist to answer the questions and to enhance litigation management. Blending the science of the data and the art of dispute resolution can give you the best of both worlds. This program will demonstrate the use of data mining, end game analysis, budgeting, decision tree analysis and the establishment of success criteria for managing dispute resolution.

Do you want to communicate more effectively and increase efficiency to improve your relationship with outside counsel/general counsel clients? This panel has answers! Based upon research into effective communication techniques and proven team-building tactics, this panel analyzes both short-term and long-term methods to improve the in-house/outside counsel working relationship. The program will go beyond a discussion of war stories and failure to return phone calls. Instead, it will explore social science research on effective communication skills, how to apply the results to your everyday communications, and the resulting rewards of higher efficiency, lower costs and better teamwork. Building on these strategies, the panel will demonstrate how good communication builds trusting working relationships, a prerequisite to the development of creative fee arrangements.

What’s a Competitor to Do: Strategies for Handling False and Misleading Advertising Claims

In a highly competitive marketplace with companies vying for critical shelf space, internet hits, and television slots, protecting and increasing market share is paramount. Not only are competitors carefully monitoring each other’s advertisements for unfair, false, or misleading claims, regulators provide another set of watchful eyes on advertising. When faced with false or deceptive competitive advertising, companies must carefully consider when, how, and the best forum in which to seek relief. At the same time, after spending substantial marketing and product development dollars on ads for their own products or services, companies may find themselves hauled into court or before a regulatory agency on allegations that their advertising is somehow untruthful or misleading. This session will provide a practical roadmap of legal options and strategies for companies faced with a competitor’s false or misleading advertising, as well as strategic considerations for businesses defending against challenges to their own advertising campaigns.

TRACKTWO Diversity & Inclusion: The Changing Face of Outside Counsel

With the ever-changing global marketplace, companies have spent, and continue to spend, significant time and resources diversifying their workforces. The business case for these diversity efforts is now well-established and many companies have adopted successful diversity and inclusion initiatives. Since Rick Palmore, then Chief Legal Officer of Sara Lee, issued his “Call to Action” almost a decade ago, many corporations have turned their attention to the diversity and inclusion practices of their corporate business partners, including outside legal firms. This panel will examine the various strategies, both successful and unsuccessful, that have been used to promote diversity and inclusion both within their companies and with outside law firms and other vendors. This session will be an interactive discussion about meeting the challenges of finding strong corporate business partners that meet the corporate goals for diversity and inclusion. Both clients and ALFA lawyers will take away concrete ideas for measuring, meeting, and furthering corporate diversity goals.

TRACKTHREE Managing Difficult Employees in a Public and Politically-Charged Environment

Times have changed for employers. As there are now more laws that protect workers, employees are less tolerant of each other and their employers. Employees are more apt to complain than they did in the past, and employees are more vocal, outgoing and flamboyant with their views and communications, as well as with their manner of dress and actions. This panel will discuss and address some of the more difficult and sometimes delicate issues faced by employers today. These issues include the smelly employee, the tattlers, drama queens, whiners, critics and busybodies, employees with body art and/or piercings, employees who cannot seem to get along with anyone, and employees who only want to work part-time or perform certain jobs for life style reasons, but sometimes want to receive full pay. This session promises to be both fun and interesting, as all employers have employees who fall into one or more of these categories.

When it’s too Late to Tweet: Doing Business During the Social Media Revolution

Step onto any elevator, into any break room, or take a stroll along any downtown street and you’ll find your employees interacting with their smart phone or tablet, tweeting or texting, posting or responding to another’s message about the latest and greatest. This cutting edge, interactive program will highlight the newest generation of social networking tools / applications (Snapchat, Vine, etc.) and their impact in the workplace. We will present an engaging fact pattern which will be used as the vehicle for addressing several fundamental issues related to social media that many employers are grappling with: Social media account ownership: Who owns social media accounts and passwords when an employee leaves the company? What steps do businesses need to take to protect their investment in social media and online profile? Privacy laws: Have username and password protection laws dramatically altered employee privacy rights? How do businesses conduct investigations or background checks without violating privacy rights? National Labor Relations Board: How can I discipline or terminate employees without violating the NLRA? Is it possible to draft a bullet proof social media policy that will withstand NRLB scrutiny? What is on the regulatory horizon? Finally, this program will address the impact of social media on litigation, including using social media campaigns to impact litigation strategy and case resolution.

TRACKONE The Prom Dance: Working Together with a Group of Defendants

Multi-party litigation often brings with it a unique set of challenges and opportunities. While the option for defendants to point the finger at one another as a method of shifting liability away from themselves may prove to a be a successful tactic, exercising this practice can often result in the defendants inadvertently building the plaintiff’s case for him. As an alternative, there are often ways in which the defendants can strengthen all their positions by providing a united front on some or all issues in the case. This panel will talk about those strategies, ways to outline the scope of common defenses, how to implement the sharing of information and cooperation, the use and creation of joint defense agreements to protect attorney-client and work product privileges and the potential pitfalls of such agreements.

The European financial crisis started out as a sovereign debt problem in Greece but soon spread across the European continent and morphed into a full-blown recession impacting the global economy. The EU crisis is generating significant legal challenges for businesses operating both inside and outside the EU. With crisis, however, comes opportunity and the EU is engaging the US in an unprecedented attempt to marry the world’s two largest economies with a free trade agreement. This panel will provide a comprehensive look at current EU market challenges and legal devices to adjust to those challenges, as well as a view to future post-crisis business and legal opportunities.

Saturday evening is the most formal night of the conference and cocktail attire is encouraged (jacket strongly suggested, no tie necessary).
