On Friday, April 12, Halli Cohn will be featured as a panelist at the session "Sending in the Reserves: Litigator Interactions with Finance/Audit." Many corporate legal departments, working with their external counsel, face increased interaction with their company’s finance department or financial auditors. In order to demonstrate value and run legal like a business, this panel will cover a host of topics at the intersection of litigation and finance, including: accounting rules for setting legal reserves; approaches to managing and estimating legal reserves (including both expense and indemnity estimates); controlling litigation costs; approaches to demonstrating value of legal services and showing savings; issues related to assembling legal proceedings notes; and more.
The Corporate Counsel College is designed to be an interactive and dynamic learning experience that takes advantage of the vast knowledge and experience of panelists, in-house corporate counsel, and outside counsel attendees.
