Open to in-house counsel only, this year’s program features our traditional three-topic format with more time to engage with your colleagues on issues you are experiencing within your brand’s legal department, including:

• Legal Operations. Julie Hidalgo, Head Counsel, North America, Subway, will lead a discussion of legal tech implementation, contract lifestyle management, compliance and risk mitigation, and aligning legal objectives with broader business goals.
• Consumer Regulatory Issues – Focus on Junk Fees and Click-to-Cancel. Ed Chansky, Shareholder, Greenberg Traurig, will provide practical guidance for brands navigating the evolving landscape of state and federal laws regulating unfair and deceptive fees (aka “junk fees”) and negative option arrangements often used in subscription and membership-based models (aka “click to cancel” laws).
• Advanced Trademark & IP Issues. Alex Dourian, Counsel, Hilton, will share challenges and best practices in global trademark portfolio management, including enforcement in high-risk markets and protecting brand assets online as well as social media spaces.
