IQPC to host premier LPO event
The International Quality and Productivity Centre (IQPC) is preparing to host its first ever conference on legal outsourcing. Set to take place in Chicago from 21-23 October, Best Practice Global Outsourcing Strategies in Legal Operations promises a packed agenda of case studies, with Connie Brenton of Sun Microsystems delivering a keynote presentation.
Of particular interest to IP Review Online readers, the Day One case study on intellectual property will look at identifying and evaluating areas of patent work to be outsourced; finding a suitable vendor solution for your firm’s needs; best practices in working with outsourced services to enhance efficiency, and how to stay in compliance with export control laws. Additional items focus on measuring the return on investment (ROI) of outsourced patent services, and implementing IP asset protection management
Ms Brenton’s speech will focus on the fundamental LPO area of contract management, with plenty of tips on how to avoid potential risks in order to preserve quality, continuity and performance.
Laura Hou – conference director of IQPC’s Legal IQ division – says, ‘This conference consists of real case studies (not hypotheticals!) in the areas of e-discovery and documentation review, intellectual property and contract management. It gathers the world’s top in-house and outside counsel with practical LPO experience, and leading professional ethics experts to share their ideas and insight on the changes taking place in the legal profession. Join us to learn what type of LPO is best suited for your business, and discover best operating strategies during and after the implementation process.’
