REORGANIZING THE LEAGUE INTO PRACTICE GROUPS
Step One - Complex Commercial Litigation And Plans For The Future
By: Liviu Vogel
This summer, members of the League gathered in Baltimore to discuss the CLLA Strategic Plan and to establish a process designed to move us toward the organization we want to be in 2012. The vision adopted by the group is a vibrant League organized under practice areas.
In order to move us toward that vision we set goals. This year, we are exploring how the League should set up groups in practice areas. I volunteered as a “champion” of this particular goal. The champion is responsible for moving the goal along and has quarterly accountability to the planning group. With the assistance of Jack Birk, Walid Tamari, Gary Weiner, Gary Tier and Rick Johanson, great strides have been made so far this year.
We decided to follow up on the initiative already launched by Walid Tamari. He had organized an exciting meeting of the Complex Commercial Litigation Committee in Chicago at the League’s Annual Conference. Around twenty interested members decided to develop a litigation program for the New York Meeting in November. There was lots of energy and interest in support of the effort. Our group chose to focus on the successful implementation of this effort in order to try to use it as a template for the development of other practice areas.
This turned out to be a terrific plan. The Complex Commercial Litigation Committee’s Thursday morning program at the New York meeting was a tremendous success!
The goal was to offer attorneys whose practice includes complex commercial litigation a quality program of use in their practices. Along with League members we also wanted to attract other commercial attorneys as well as business people who would have an interest in the topics presented. We were successful in attracting attendance from all three of the targeted groups.
Attendees were treated with breakfast, an opportunity to network, and educational presentations by four talented speakers. Richard Romeo, my partner in the firm of Salon Marrow Dyckman Newman & Broudy LLP, lectured on how to protect your business from unfair competition and disclosure of confidential information when employees leave. Alan Schachter and Graig Jacobson of Citrin Cooperman & Company, LLP, spoke on the methods of business valuation and cross-examination of a business valuation expert witness. Finally, Walid Tamari, gave the audience ten practical and useful tips on successfully conducting business in economically challenging times.
At one point, I counted nearly 60 people in attendance, which far exceeded our expectations. Survey results from attendees were uniformly positive.
Over the next few months we want to build on this success in two ways. We will seek to use the template created by this group in forming a Committee in another practice area which we expect to be of interest to League members as well as others. The initial meeting of the Construction Law Committee to be chaired by Rick Johanson will be held during the League’s Convention in Chicago to be held April 16 through April 19, 2010.
The goal of that Committee will be to offer an educational presentation and meeting on topics of interest to its members at the New York Convention to be held in November, 2010. If you have interest in this Group, I encourage you to contact Rick Johanson by e-mail at: rjohanson@ehjlaw.com and plan now to come to the meeting.
We have a number of ideas for additional practice groups to be formed in the future. Any area of Commercial Law could qualify. Such groups provide outstanding opportunities for networking with those who work in the same area and whose clients often need counsel in other parts of the country. They also provide an opportunity to attract and educate business people, who may become our clients. If you have an interest in leading a group please contact me to discuss your ideas.
To follow up on its success in New York, the Complex Commercial Litigation Committee will hold its second educational meeting in Chicago on Thursday, April 29, 2010 between 9:00 A.M. and 12:00 P.M. The educational topics to be presented include Electronic Discovery and Law of the Internet.
If your practice includes Complex Commercial Litigation, come join us in Chicago on April 29, 2010. You are welcome and encouraged to invite clients and business people who you believe will have an interest in these topics. Admission for non-lawyers will be free. The invitation alone should ingratiate you with your business contacts even if they don’t attend.
Come and learn, network and support these important initiatives. We believe that grouping into practice areas will be of great value to the League and its members. If you have some thoughts or ideas that might be helpful to our group as we work toward implementing this goal please contact me at lvogel@salonmarrow.com.I look forward to seeing you in Chicago.
