    Cybercrime is one of greatest threats facing our country.  Theft of trade secrets or other intellectual property or confidential information have an estimated loss of $250 billion a year.  Knowledge assets are confidential information critical to a company’s core business and must be protected yet, less than 48% of a company’s board is informed about protecting critical confidential data.  A company’s data security measures and responses must be reasonable and appropriate.  This requires a continuous process of assessing and addressing risks. 

     

    Lunch will be provided.

    Inheritance Disputes

    A Matter of Trust: The Challenges of Mediating Inheritance Disputes

    It is not just the intensity of emotions that challenges the mediator in inheritance disputes! Challenges also arise from:

    • the range of interests that need to be considered, including some that might not be represented at the mediation,
    • trying to clarify what the real issues and sources of dispute,
    • meeting (or ignoring) Probate Code and Tax Code structures,
    • ethical dilemmas posed by attorney-client and multi-party tensions.

    By discussing these and other challenges, the speaker will also elicit ideas for overcoming them, before, during, and after the mediation session.

    Light lunch provided. If you have dietary restrictions, please plan to bring your own food.

    Ethical Considerations for Family Law Attorneys Consulting With Mental Health Professionals

     

    More and more, family law attorneys are using mental health professionals to consult with them and their clients, particularly in cases involving child custody and visitation. Such consultations may take place prior to or during litigation and the processes of mediation and evaluation.

     

    There are a variety of roles mental health professionals can assume in the family law system, many of which are specified and circumscribed by California law. The role of the mental health consultant, however, is not defined by law. Therefore, the rules that apply to such consultants are not clear. Some family law experts, including bench officers, have expressed concerns about the use of such consultants and the possible detrimental effects such consultation could have on evaluative and judicial processes, making the use of such consultants somewhat controversial.

     

    This presentation will examine the various roles mental health professionals play in the family law system, the various roles mental health consultants can play, and ethical issues raised when mental health professionals act as consultants for family law attorneys and litigants.

    Highlights of the past year’s key developments in California insurance law


    Our panel of experienced insurance lawyers will address key developments in California insurance law during 2017. Whether you practice insurance coverage law, do insurance defense work, are a plaintiff’s lawyer where insurance may be in play, or practice in-house, this longstanding annual program will bring you up to speed on the most significant insurance issues that could make the difference between winning and losing, and can help you avoid missteps that could cause policyholder clients to lose insurance, or could cost your insurance company clients greatly. The speakers will discuss the conflict between two 2017 appellate cases on horizontal versus vertical exhaustion, how the Supreme Court may address the recurring question of “what is an accident,” when the genuine dispute doctrine does (and does not) shield insurers from bad faith, an excess insurer’s “duty to settle” (and risks of not settling) when the insured and primary insurer want to settle, key construction insurance exclusions, and much more.
