Wisconsin Business and Commercial Litigation

I’ve just signed on to attend (and my firm will sponsor) the annual conference of the Wisconsin Chapter of the Association of Corporate Counsel.  From the looks of the materials from past conferences, it’s a great way to brush up on issues vital to in-house counsel, and to stay (or get) in touch with lawyers who practice in business law, whether that means employment, litigation, or transactions.  Having run a trade association before, I can tell you that this chapter’s board of directors is more involved than most and takes a hands-on approach to the convention.  That sort of involvement inevitably results in programs that offer great value and insight for the members.  I look forward to being a part of this year’s event, and will keep you updated as the program takes more definite shape.

Tonight I will be talking with the members of the Wisconsin Chapter of the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors, Inc. about the contracts they use with their clients, including arbitration clauses, exculpatory clauses, and other contract language that may cause difficulty.  The meeting will be held at the Pettit Ice Center, 500 S. 84th Street in Milwaukee.  You can get more information here.  Non-members are welcome and your entrance fee includes dinner.
