These days, every business is faced with continually delivering products and services in faster, better and cheaper ways. Information Technology often is the key to doing so. Meanwhile, an increasing portion of the value of any business is more and more likely to be its intangible assets, such as brands, trade secrets, know-how, patents, websites, networks, information systems and, even, customer relationships. Similarly, technology now drives many major sales, purchases, alliances, ventures and investments. And the growing use of email and the Internet in the workplace presents unique employment issues.
How does this affect your business? The key takeaway is that every business manager should understand the basic legal issues encountered as a result of these long-term trends. Our speaker, Larry Zanger, will discuss a variety of legal topics including how you can create stronger contracts which address and protect both your clients and your business interests, how to protect your valuable intellectual property, and other important legal issues which you need to consider for both starting and maintaining a successful consulting business.
Larry Zanger is a partner in the Business Law Section at the law firm of Holland & Knight in Chicago and focuses his practice on corporate and computer law matters. Mr. Zanger has substantial experience in the representation of a variety of businesses in the computer industry and those involved with electronic commerce. Representative activities include acting as outside general counsel for computer software developers, computer consultants, systems integrators and software and hardware distributors and dealers, with matters also involving international distribution and the ownership of foreign subsidiaries.
