November 17: Corporate Dealmaking in Today’s Regulatory Environment: What In-House Counsel Need to Know

Title:
Corporate Dealmaking in Today’s Regulatory Environment: What In-House Counsel Need to Know

Description:
Corporate transactions are being negotiated in a regulatory environment that can affect nearly every stage of the deal lifecycle. Antitrust scrutiny, SEC priorities, labor considerations, tariffs, state attorney general activity, and broader federal policy shifts can all influence diligence, timing, deal terms, closing certainty, and negotiating leverage. For in-house counsel, the challenge is not just staying current on regulatory developments — it is translating those developments into practical guidance for the business.

Join us on Tuesday, November 17, 2026 at 12pm ET/ 9am PT, as Amanda Wait, Managing Partner, D.C. Office at Michael Best, and Aris Haigian, Partner at Michael Best, for a practical discussion designed for in-house counsel advising on M&A, strategic transactions, investments, joint ventures, and other corporate deals. The panel will explore how today’s enforcement and policy priorities are shaping corporate deal strategy, including what legal teams should be watching before negotiations begin, how to build regulatory risk into deal timelines and terms, and how to advise business stakeholders when uncertainty becomes part of the transaction.

Attendees will learn how to:

• Identify regulatory issues that may affect corporate deal strategy, timing, and execution risk.
• Understand current antitrust enforcement themes, including theories of harm and areas of regulator interest.
• Account for process and procedural changes that may quietly affect deal timelines and closing certainty.
• Evaluate the growing role of state attorneys general in corporate transactions.
• Consider how SEC priorities, labor developments, tariffs, and related policy shifts may influence diligence, covenants, pricing, and risk allocation.
• Communicate regulatory risk to business teams in a way that supports practical, informed decision-making.

Who Should Attend: This session is designed for in-house counsel who advise on corporate transactions, including M&A, strategic investments, joint ventures, securities matters, commercial deals, antitrust, labor and employment, regulatory, compliance, and government affairs issues. It will be especially useful for legal teams responsible for helping business leaders assess transaction risk, negotiate deal terms, and move corporate deals forward in a shifting regulatory environment.

November 17: The In-House AI Bootcamp: From First Prompt to Contract Review at Scale

Title:
The In-House AI Bootcamp: From First Prompt to Contract Review at Scale

Description:
Most in-house teams are past asking whether to use AI, but many still rely on one-off prompts and individual trial and error. Without shared standards, results vary from lawyer to lawyer, and AI never moves from drafting help to the contract review work the department is measured on.

Join us on Tuesday, November 17, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. ET / 12:00 p.m. PT as Katie Harris, Lead Solutions Attorney and Commercial Counsel at LegalOn, and Corey Longhurst, Chief Growth Officer at LegalOn. They’ll walk through how to build responsible, repeatable AI practices into your team’s day-to-day work, then put each step to work live, from the first prompt to reviewing contracts at scale.

Come ready to build alongside your in-house peers in real time.

Attendees will learn how to:

• Apply the ethical and risk considerations that matter most when using AI for legal work, including confidentiality, accuracy, and supervision.
• Write prompts that hold up, using a repeatable framework instead of trial and error.
• Build a shared prompt library your whole team can use and maintain.
• Turn legal judgment into contract playbooks that keep AI review consistent.
• Extract and compare key terms, from renewal dates to termination clauses, across dozens of contracts at once.

Who Should Attend:
This program is designed for in-house counsel, legal operations professionals, and contract managers at any stage of their AI journey. It will be especially useful for those responsible for contract review and negotiation, playbooks and templates, team training and adoption, or setting AI standards within the legal department.

November 16: Reviewing AI-Generated Marketing Content at Scale: A Risk-Aware Framework for In-House Counsel

Title:
Reviewing AI-Generated Marketing Content at Scale: A Risk-Aware Framework for In-House Counsel

Description:
Marketing teams now produce more copy, images, videos, and regional variants than legal can review, and generative AI has only widened that gap. In-house counsel is still accountable for every claim and disclosure that goes live, even as regulators adjust their expectations for AI-assisted content.

Join us on Monday, November 16, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. ET / 9:00 a.m. PT as Kunal Vankadara, CEO and Co-founder at Haast, and Wessel Van Keulen, Founding General Manager, Europe at Haast, walk through a practical approach to deciding which content gets which level of review, where AI-assisted review fits, and where a lawyer’s judgment needs to stay in the loop.

Attendees will work through real-world examples and leave with a framework they can adopt for their own organization.

Attendees will learn how to:

• Identify the factors that make AI-generated marketing content higher or lower risk.
• Build a tiered review model that matches legal attention to risk.
• Decide which review tasks can be assisted by AI and which require attorney judgment.
• Document review decisions and policy precedents so the process is consistent and defensible when regulators inquire.

Who Should Attend: This program is designed for in-house counsel, marketing and advertising counsel, compliance leaders, and legal operations professionals who support marketing teams. It will be especially useful for those responsible for advertising claims review, consumer protection compliance, regulated disclosures, brand approvals, or AI governance.

November 11: Patents for People Who Don’t Have Time for Them: Six Hidden Wins for In-House Counsel

Title:
Patents for People Who Don’t Have Time for Them: Six Hidden Wins for In-House Counsel

Description:
Patents often feel like too big a project to tackle, so they get pushed to next quarter. Meanwhile, the risk and value they carry keep building quietly across R&D, product, sales, and deal teams. A bit of targeted strategy in the right places can cut real exposure and create real value, without you having to become a patent lawyer.

Join us on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. ET / 9:00 a.m. PT as Doug Meier, Managing Partner and Intellectual Property Attorney at NK Patent Law, walks through six places where in-house teams can get an outsized return from a small patent investment. He’ll also share a real-world framework for getting your patents under control.

Attendees will learn how to:

• Find hidden inventions in your R&D teams: surface innovation you can protect before it slips through the cracks.
• Manage hidden risk in your product roadmap: spot infringement exposure early, while it’s still cheap to address.
• Spot hidden tripwires in your launch plans: flag the patent issues that can derail a go-to-market date.
• Limit hidden costs in your sales contracts: tighten IP indemnities and warranties that quietly expand exposure.
• Extract hidden value from your patent portfolio: identify assets worth licensing, pruning, or leveraging.
• Avoid hidden discounts in your next deal: prepare your IP so it holds up in diligence and supports valuation.

Who Should Attend: This program is designed for general counsel, in-house counsel, and legal operations professionals at companies that build products or technology but don’t have a dedicated patent function. It will be especially useful for those advising R&D and product teams, negotiating commercial contracts, managing IP budgets, or preparing for financing, M&A, or other strategic transactions.
