E-Commerce Partners Ieuan Mahony and Richard Raysman will speak on the technology track on a panel titled, "Reducing Risk for Your Company Through Cloud Computing," and Tax Partner William Sherman will speak on the finance track on a panel titled, "Joint Ventures, Co-ventures, Hybrids and Other Unusual and Creative Ideas for Increasing Visibility and Raising Revenue."
ACC's Annual Meeting is the largest gathering of in-house counsel from around the world. Created in 1983, the annual event is an opportunity for corporate attorneys to gain education credits, meet with legal service providers and network with their peers.
In "Reducing Risk for Your Company Through Cloud Computing," Mr. Mahony and Mr. Raysman, along with their fellow panelists, will address challenges faced by companies that use or provide cloud computing services. Discussion topics will include: service standards and reliability measurements, confidential information and trade secrets, data privacy, security and encryption, liability limitations, indemnification, and risk allocation and international regulatory issues.
In "Joint Ventures, Co-ventures, Hybrids and Other Unusual and Creative Ideas for Increasing Visibility and Raising Revenue," Mr. Sherman, along with his fellow panelists, will investigate a variety of structures that raise revenues for nonprofits while simultaneously advancing a commercial interest. Core issues covered will include the tax on unrelated business income, state commercial co-venture statutes, permissible private benefit arrangements and a how-to guide on structuring the venture.
