Events

9:00am - 1:00pm

Whether in negotiations, the boardroom, or the courtroom, all in-house lawyers can eliminate blind spots through real-life examples of what happens when things don’t go as expected. Beck Redden lawyers partnered with the Association for Corporate Counsel Houston Chapter for a deep dive program into how the outcome of real-life disputes can shape your in-house strategy. This program addressed helping the C-suite accomplish business goals, how to approach your role in an ethical manner, avoiding potential landmines, controlling external risk factors when faced with trial, and anticipated legislative changes. The end goal is avoiding litigation at all points in the contract lifecycle — by learning lessons from litigation.
