Like the many before it, this year’s InsideCounsel SuperConference was a success. The 2009 show kicked off with a lively keynote from Robert Bauer, general counsel for Obama for America, who discussed lobbying and legal ethics. David Boies served as the keynote for Day Two, focusing his discussion on alternative fee arrangements.
The conference attendees also were treated to breakout sessions covering a variety of relevant topics. One well-attended session, “The Future of Fees,” allowed in-house and outside counsel to hash out the dos and don’ts surrounding alternative fee arrangements. “The Changing Face of Green Business” offered insight into the legal responsibilities of a company going green. And two “Ethics Boot Camp” sessions provided a review of the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct and best practices for conducting internal investigations. The conference closed with a chat among judges about the challenges of e-discovery and a GC panel discussion about the role of senior legal executives in restoring confidence in business.
