IP contracts at Southwestern

This year’s International IT Law Conference at L.A.’s Southwestern University will have some interesting things for contracts lawyers.

A major theme this year is the increase in huge and extremely costly IT project failures. These are obviously problems not merely for IT professionals and litigators, but for the transactional attorneys who draft the contracts on such projects. The conference has “created unique sessions featuring transaction lawyers, litigators, CIOs and expert witnesses to share their experiences on how to avoid failures and deal with them in court.”  An ounce of prevention is, of course, worth a pound of cure.  Details on the conference, slated for June 9-10 in Shakeytown, are here.
