2009 Litigation Update: What An In-House Counsel Needs To Know
This seminar, being held in the firm's Nashville office, is the 4th our firm has offered for in-house counsel who may not be trial lawyers or litigators, but who deal with disputes, do not have a large in-house staff of lawyers, but who are expected by their employer to be knowledgable about many different areas of the law. This specific seminar is geared towards giving the attendees "2009 updates," primarily recent developments, in specific topics that in house counsel have to deal with and provide advice to their employers: intellectual property, attorney client privilege, ethics issues for in-house counsel, white collar/governmental investigations, labor/employment, US Supreme Court decisions, and business judgment decisions in settling disputes.

Frank Caprio Named HudsonAlpha "Ambassador"
Frank Caprio, chair of Bradley Arant Boult Cummings’ Intellectual Property Team, has been named one of eighteen HudsonAlpha Ambassadors. The Ambassadors are part of an awareness-building effort recently launched by the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology in Huntsville, Alabama.
These 18 community leaders are being tapped to provide insight and suggestions toward growing the non-profit institute. They will be introduced to different research areas at the institute with the goal of equipping them to discuss the various ways HudsonAlpha benefits the Huntsville community, the state of Alabama, and the nation.
“It’s very humbling to have such a highly respected group of advocates to help carry our message to the public, offering personal perspectives on the work conducted by HudsonAlpha researchers and educators,” commented Carter Wells, director of external affairs at the institute.
