Flaster Greenberg and Association of Corporate Counsel Greater Philadelphia (ACC-GP)

Description: 

Join Flaster Greenberg and your ACC-GP in-house colleagues for a dynamic roundtable discussion on the top legal issues in 2026 impacting in-house counsel.

Our panel will cover AI regulation and IP developments, including IP protection for AI inventions, the future AI patent litigation landscape that every company should anticipate and prepare for, AI legal compliance program development, protecting data assets, recent privacy litigation trends such as CIPA and ECPA claims (cookies beware), establishing and maintaining a trade secret program in a business world driven by data exchange and AI, and the role of in-house counsel in responding to cyber incidents.

We’ll also explore developments in M&A, including joint ventures and strategic alliances, as well as the growing use of representations and warranties related to AI technology and the associated risks.

Additional hot topics will include emerging litigation and bankruptcy trends, including AI “hallucinations” in legal filings, the discoverability of AI-assisted communications, and “AI washing” claims.

This interactive roundtable session encourages open dialogue and active discussion. In-house attendees will have the opportunity to engage directly with Flaster Greenberg attorneys as well as their peers. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain practical, actionable insights at a unique venue.
