It recommends including provisions that define the scope of work, ownership of materials, confidentiality, representations and warranties, indemnification, insurance, limitations of liability, payment terms, and dispute resolution in client agreements. Employee agreements should address confidentiality, intellectual property rights, non-compete clauses, insurance, and expectations. Affiliate agreements need clear parameters, compliance with laws, complaint processes, policing, and shut-down mechanisms.

E discovery production and non-party privacy v2
This document discusses key issues related to e-discovery, production, and non-party privacy. It outlines how e-discovery involves processing entire data sets to separate producible information from private information. While companies have a right to access employee communications, best practices include establishing proper expectations and controls to ensure legitimate access. When using e-discovery vendors, clients are accountable for data security. Producing parties must be aware of privacy statutes that can block disclosure of personal information outside a jurisdiction. Proper third-party notice and preparation that considers redaction or security expectations can help address non-party privacy concerns in the production process.

Project Controls Expo 18th Nov 2014 - "Project Controls – The Legal Perspecti...Project Controls Expo
Project control is usually perceived as a deeply practical matter often focussed on internal process and procedure within a company; but is it? This presentation will look at the legal ties and relationships within a project (contractual, statutory and tortious) and how they do, should or could correlate with project controls. It will highlight areas where legal relationships interface with practical project reality and discuss how to maintain a balance between flexibility and certainty when bringing project control into the legal arena. These ideas will be developed in a practical exercise of risk identification within a project and how that risk can be balanced through project control within the legal and contractual framework. It will also explain the benefits that can be achieved through formalising, in a legal context, project controls and discuss the commercial tipping point of introducing too much project control.Disruptive innovations in legal services - Charley Moore - Rocket Lawyer - Ju...

M&A BOOT CAMP 2022 - The M&A Process
Buying, selling, or merging a company typically follows a similar set of steps from deal to deal. The amount of time each step takes varies but the order of the steps is fairly uniform because the steps follow a certain logic: before the parties share meaningful information, they should sign a confidentiality agreement (a/k/a “non-disclosure agreement,” or “NDA”); once a baseline amount of information is known by the would-be buyer, it commonly presents a letter of intent or term sheet to the target or its owner, which serves as an outline for a deal but does not necessarily bind the parties to consummate the transaction; additional due diligence and the negotiation, drafting and signing of definitive documents comes next. The parties then obtain any needed regulatory and/or contractual third party approvals; followed by closing; and finally by post-closing tasks. This webinar will discuss all these steps from a macro perspective so that you can see the forest for the trees, but does not do a deep dive into any single topic. Think of this webinar as a road map or timeline for a typical deal.
