The event will be held on January 23, 2003, 6:00 -- 8:00 p.m. at the Yale Club in New York City.

Featured speakers at this event include William Bierce, President of Bierce & Kenerson, P.C. and Tim Couldrick, head of the Outsourcing Group at Tarlo Lyons. This unique seminar will focus on comparative analysis of European and American law on strategic outsourcing relationships. The agenda will cover recent regulatory trends affecting international trade in services, including the PATRIOT Act of 2001, Homeland Security Act of 2002, Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, E-government Act of 2002 and EU law. Services affected include information technology, call centers, data processing, claims management and similar back office services.

In this era of 'international security management,' multinationals must act quickly to update their existing international services contracts. A fresh comparative law analysis can highlight new solutions, help avoid blunders and accelerate benefits from outsourcing as a management technique," said William Bierce of Bierce & Kenerson, P.C. This seminar will be particularly useful for executives responsible for planning and managing critical back-office functions through foreign service providers."
