Do You Know What You’re Doing When You Give Legal Opinions?
Thursday, January 5, 2012
This program will review the current state of play in delivering closing opinions: • How frequently are they being requested? Why are they requested? Should they be? • How risky are they? How much comfort does the recent Dechert decision give? • What are the current guiding principles for preparing and delivering opinion letters and who formulates them? • What’s new in bar opinion reports? Opinions on LoL LLCs, LPs, sales of securities, real estate deals, opinions to federal agencies. • What frequently requested opinions are harder to give than they seem? What opinions look hard and are easier to give than they seem? • What is different about giving opinions to non-U.S. recipients? • What internal procedures do firms use to manage their opinion practice?
