Legal Week Web Seminar: Closing the loop on records management and data security risk
Start Date: 09 Feb 2012
End Date: 29 Feb 2012
Venue: Online, on demand (from 9 February 2012)
In a world where information is carried on a myriad of different mediums it is essential to securely manage your documents and data flow throughout the physical and digital supply chain. As the amount and complexity of documents grows, so too does the security risk and challenges of data storage. Similarly, access to the right information at the right time transforms the workplace by improving process efficiency. Documents need to be stored for many years but must be easily accessible should that data be required. This expert online panel debate offers perspectives from the insurance, legal and accountancy professions. These three professions have demanding clients, highly sensitive information and large volumes of documents to manage, all regulated by strict compliance guidelines.

There will also be some useful tips on dealing with confidentiality as a result of increasing requests from foreign tax authorities. These are just two of the many issues that we will examine over the course of the forum's three days in the beautiful Provence countryside. Our exceptional co-chairs Shan Warnock-Smith QC and Anthony Poulton will share their extensive knowledge and experience, making this the most fascinating and enjoyable forum yet.

Legal Week Mourant Ozannes Funds Litigation Forum
Start Date: 27 Mar 2012
End Date: 27 Mar 2012
Venue: 200 Aldersgate, London EC1
Litigation involving investment funds has developed exponentially across the globe since 2008. Whether as a result of the fraud perpetrated by Madoff, the failings of fund directors (such as Weavering) or the overall economic meltdown, investors have found themselves holding shares that may variously be gated, suspended or sometimes worthless. Whilst much of this litigation has taken place onshore (primarily in the United States), the offshore world has been at the forefront. The Funds Litigation Forum will examine the issues presently being thrashed out by the Courts, how regulators have responded to the crisis and what the industry thinks lies ahead.

Legal Week Private Equity Forum
Start Date: 25 Apr 2012
End Date: 25 Apr 2012
Venue: St Pancras Renaissance Hotel, London NW1
Private equity backed companies have done much to justify the industry’s approach to continuing market turbulence. By demonstrating a level of flexibility and responsiveness not shown by listed corporates these companies are their private equity sponsors should feel cautiously confident when looking to their futures. Deal flow seems to be increasing with many transactions deploying novel structuring and increased levels of equity. Raising debt for new deals, however, remains stubbornly difficult. With both the European AIFMD and the US Dodd-Frank Act expected to impact significantly on business costs at both a holding and portfolio company level, private equity houses will be expected to become ever more flexible and forward thinking in their approach to investment and management. Outside of investment specific regulatory developments, ongoing shifts in corporate criminalisation, legal services provision and transparency requirements will all obviously impact upon legal advisers working within private equity. So how should such lawyers best operate to complement the responsiveness and ingenuity currently being demonstrated by the industry as a whole? What legal and ‘soft’ skill development will allow you to position yourself at the heart of your organisation as an indispensable adviser? Join us at Legal Week’s Private Equity Forum 2012 to collectively seek answers to such poignant questions alongside your industry peers.

Legal Week Strategic Technology Forum
Start Date: 13 Jun 2012
End Date: 15 Jun 2012
Venue: The Ritz-Carlton Powerscourt, County Wicklow, Ireland
Legal Week Strategic Technology Forum is the annual meeting place for legal technology leaders. With the business climate continuously changing, firms must adapt and evolve in order to keep up. Day 1 of the Strategic Technology Forum will look at the likely challenges to such change and assess how best to surmount them. Success has often been linked with risk-taking, but in an industry where confidentiality and privacy is a pre-requisite, change and innovation can only occur when it is safe to do so. Day two will focus on adopting the right tools internally to drive efficiency and profitability through a firm. We will also examine how other industries ‘work’, and what strategies and tactics we can learn from them. The final day of the Strategic Technology Forum will focus on the recipient of the service: the client. As a starting point, firms must be confident in what the client wants and how best to manage these expectations. Our closing sessions will examine how firms can better attune themselves to the needs of their clients so as to drive change for the better, whilst of course mitigating risk.

The British Legal Awards

End Date: 22 Nov 2012
Venue: Old Billingsgate Market, London EC3, UK
The British Legal Awards celebrate achievement, excellence and innovation in the legal industry. The Awards are hosted by Legal Week, the weekly magazine dedicated exclusively to business lawyers in the UK and major international jurisdictions. As UK law firms gear up for the full implementation of the Legal Services Act against the background of ever fiercer competition, the need to stand out from the pack could not be more pressing. The British Legal Awards will set out to recognise the achievements of those law firms, teams and individuals who have responded most successfully to the demands being placed on them in the new post-recession business environment. The awards are divided into individual, team and firm categories and have been carefully chosen to reflect the range of practice areas and skills that lie at the heart of the successful law firm or legal department. The shortlist and winners will be chosen by an independent panel of judges made up of senior in-house lawyers, former managing and senior partners and other senior business figures. The judges meet in person to deliberate and the decisions of the panel are final. Event enquiries and table bookings: Call Steve Hands on +44 (0)20 7004 7460 or email britishlegalawards@legalweek.com
