Managing Contract Disputes for In-House Counsel
As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, I’m going to be attending the spring conference of the Wisconsin Chapter of the Association of Corprorate Counsel, which happens on May 20-21 in Elkhart Lake (more information here). Chris Schilder, litigation counsel for SafWay Services, and I will be talking with the members about managing contract disputes, and specifically about three areas that apply uniquely to in-house counsel.
Our discussion, one of many presentations as you can see from the materials, is going to touch mainly on three areas: managing ongoing business relationships while in a dispute, what problems can arise from scope of work descriptions, and the impact of indemnification provisions and potential funding for litigation. Chris and I have been working together on this for a while now and look forward to providing some insight and assistance to WisACCA members and anyone else who attends.
