Dear Commercial Law Section Conference Attendees:

On behalf of the National Bar Association Commercial Law Section (“NBACLS”), it is my pleasure to welcome you to our 30th annual Corporate Counsel Conference in Atlanta, Georgia. We are honored that you are joining us for an engaging three-day program planned to inspire you, introduce you to innovative legal developments, and challenge you to be active in “Advancing the Legacy” of the NBACLS.

The NBACLS continues to focus its programming on the diversity of interests and practice areas of our corporate, law firm and government lawyer attendees. We are offering thirteen (13) Continuing Legal Education Programs and four (4) Signature Programs during the conference. Thursday’s schedule begins with a dynamic panel of our esteemed Honorary Conference Co-Chairs (General Counsels from four Fortune 500 companies) and will be followed later in the day by a thought-provoking look back at the tenure of the NBACLS and forward-thinking discussion about Advancing the Legacy of the NBACLS. Friday’s programming will continue with a morning discussion on the importance of Unleashing the Value of Legal during times of razor sharp cost containment policies. The day will continue with the third installment of CLS United and the rollout of the Black Attorneys United app designed to help us all stay connected year round. We will also have the ever popular Judicial Forum where we will hear from venerable federal district and appellate court judges from the District of Columbia, Illinois, Ohio, and Georgia.

In addition to the regular Expo interview opportunities that will be available, there will also be numerous informal networking opportunities to take advantage of including organized dine-arounds, two NBACLS dinners, spa, golf, and our Saturday headshot lounge.

During the Conference, the NBACLS will present its John Lewis, Jr. Corporation of the Year Award to Toyota Motor North America, Inc. for its demonstrated commitment to diversity and the NBACLS members. We will also present the distinguished Cora T. Walker Legacy Award, posthumously to Jean-Marie Sylla, Jr., an advisor member of the NBACLS Executive Committee, for his staunch dedication to the mission of the NBACLS over the last several years. I thank the members of the NBACLS Executive Committee who have openly given their time, talent and experience to Advancing the Legacy of this Section. I appreciate each of you for your trust, professionalism and tenacious commitment. Also, I am appreciative of NBA President Kevin Judd’s leadership, and the continuing support of our sponsors and Honorary Co-Chairs.

I look forward to you joining us next February 15-17, 2018 as we celebrate 31 years of the Corporate Counsel Conference at the Monarch Beach Resort in Dana Point, California.

Sincerely,

Gregory M. WesleyChair, NBACLS

HISTORY OF THE COMMERCIAL LAW SECTIONCORPORATE COUNSEL CONFERENCE

In 1987, a small group within the National Bar Association Commercial Law Section met to consider ways for NBA members in business practice to meet with institutional corporate clients for the purpose of developing professional relationships and to create opportunities for institutional entities to seek out, meet and refer out-side legal matters to African-American attorneys. After months of intensive planning, this core group organized the first Corporate Counsel Conference in 1988 in Chicago, Illinois.

In soliciting corporate attendance at the inaugural Conference, Commercial Law Section Chair Cora T. Walker wrote:

[T]he purpose of the Minority Corporate Counsel Conference is to afford general counsel and chief executive officers of major corporations with an opportunity to meet NBA members from across the country and acquaint them-selves with the wealth of virtually untapped resources available to them through use of NBA members as outside counsel.

The Minority Corporate Counsel Conference will provide an excellent opportunity for you to further explore the vast array of legal talent available within the NBA for use as outside counsel . . . . Over twenty-five (25) major corpo-rations, including many insurance companies such as Aetna, Allstate, CIGNA and Wausau, and the American Insurance Association, have already chosen to take advantage of this unique opportunity and have accepted our invitation to attend the conference.

The inaugural Conference proved to be a resounding success because it enabled major corporations to meet and network with NBA members who practice in areas of substantive law affecting America’s major corpora-tions. The event was attended by representatives from the law departments of Allstate Insurance Company, Amtrak, Consolidated Rail Corporation, DuPont Chemical, Ford Motor Company, General Motors, IBM, Mc-Donald’s Corporation, Mobil Oil Corporation, Shell Oil Company, Sterling Drug, The Coca-Cola Company, The Travelers Insurance Company, and many others.

Throughout the years, the Corporate Counsel Conference has continued to grow in size, visibility and influ-ence. Over the years, it is estimated that over 1,000 NBA Commercial Law Section members have connected with well over one hundred (100) different corporations and their representatives through the Commercial Law Section Corporate Counsel Conference. Many have formed long-standing mutually beneficial attorney-client relationships. The Corporate Counsel Conference has also served as the model for similar programs which have subsequently been created by other organizations. This year, the Commercial Law Section is proud to pay trib-ute to individuals and corporations who created this Conference and to all of those who have supported and attended the Conference throughout the years. We look forward to many more years of connecting the immense wealth of talent which is within the National Bar Association Commercial Law Section with those corporations and other institutions who recognize diversity as an essential component to any commitment to excellence.

2017 John Lewis, Jr.Corporation of the Year Award

Toyota Motor North America (TMNA)

Toyota, one of the world’s leading automakers and creator of the Prius hybrid and the Mirai

fuel cell vehicles, is committed to leading the way to the future of mobility through our Toyota

and Lexus brands and to enriching lives around the world by providing safe and responsible

ways of moving people.

But we are more than just a mobility business. We partner with community, civic, academic,

and governmental organizations every day to apply and share our know-how in ways that

benefit people, our communities and our planet to help build a better tomorrow.

We are proud to have been part of the cultural, social and economic fabric of America for

nearly 60 years – with more than $22 billion in direct investments, 10 manufacturing facilities,

25 million U.S.-made vehicles, 1,500 dealerships, 136,000 direct and indirect employees and,

since 1991, more than $700 million in contributions to safety, education and environmental

initiatives.

We know that fostering a diverse and inclusive company culture is vital to our success as a

business and reflects our founding principles of Continuous Improvement and Respect for

People. Today, in Toyota Legal One (TL1) –– the legal services function for TMNA’s operations

in North America –– just over 70 percent of our attorneys are women, and nearly one-quarter

are from diverse backgrounds.

In 2014, TL1 resolved to extend its own diversity and inclusion efforts to the outside law

firms with which we work, with the goal of helping expand the diversity profile of the legal

profession in general. In launching the TL1 “Partnering Program,” we asked our partner firms

to recruit, retain and promote talented, diverse people; to provide opportunities for diverse

professionals and staff to work on Toyota matters; and to demonstrate progress against their

stated goals.

Thanks to our Partnering Program and other efforts, we are proud that our use of diverse

timekeepers in fiscal year 2016 increased substantially over the previous fiscal year, and we

look forward to continuing to build upon our previous accomplishments in the years ahead.

A View from the Bench Panelist

The Honorable Leslie AbramsDistrict Court JudgeU.S. District Court for the Middle District of Georgia

The Honorable Leslie J. Abrams is a United States District Court Judge for the

Middle District of Georgia. On March 11, 2014, President Obama nominated

her to the bench; and on November 18, 2014, the Senate confirmed her by a

vote of 100-0. On November 21, 2014, Judge Abrams took the oath of office

and became first female federal judge in the Middle District of Georgia and

the first African American woman to become an Article III judge in the State

of Georgia.

Judge Abrams grew up in Gulfport, Mississippi and Atlanta, Georgia. She is the daughter of two

United Methodist ministers and the third of six children. She received a joint bachelor’s degree

in Public Policy and African American Studies from Brown University in 1997 and received her JD

from Yale Law School in 2002.

Following graduation from law school, Judge Abrams clerked for the Honorable Marvin J. Garbis

on the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. Following her clerkship, she

joined the DC office of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, LLP and the Atlanta office of

Kilpatrick Stockton, LLP (now Kilpatrick Townsend). From 2010 to 2014, Judge Abrams served as

an Assistant United States Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia in both the white collar

and major crimes sections. In addition to her duties as a prosecutor, Judge Abrams also served as

the Community Outreach Coordinator for the U.S. Attorney’s Office, developing programs focused

on community education, crime prevention and prisoner reentry. In this position, she frequently

spoke to schools, churches, and community groups about human trafficking, child exploitation,

The Honorable Guy ColeChief Appellate Court JudgeU.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit

Chief Judge R. Guy Cole, Jr. was nominated by President Clinton and

unanimously confirmed by the U.S. Senate in 1995 to a judgeship on the

United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. In August 2014, Judge

Cole assumed the role of Chief Judge for the Sixth Circuit—becoming the first

African-American to hold that position since the court’s formation in 1869.

During his twenty years on the appellate bench, Judge Cole has authored

hundreds of legal opinions, including landmark decisions on civil rights,

criminal procedure, and the scope of the First Amendment, among others.

Prior to joining the Sixth Circuit, Judge Cole served as an attorney in private

practice at the Columbus law firm of Vorys, Sater, Seymour and Pease, and as

a litigator for the Commercial Litigation Branch of the Department of Justice

in Washington, D.C. He also served as a United States Bankruptcy Judge for

the Southern District of Ohio from 1987 to 1993. In addition to his judicial

responsibilities, Judge Cole gives back to the community by serving as an

adjunct professor at The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law and on

the governing boards of several philanthropic organizations in central Ohio.

Speaker: • Kimberly MacKay, U.S. Head, Legal and Compliance, Novartis Business Services

Innovation. Impact. Influence. These are words that should be used to describe you in your role as legal counsel to some of the most significant organizations in America. Are they? If not, why not? How well do you “own” your role as a critical business driver? Do you strategically market your accomplishments and skills? What have you done to impact your organization’s bottom line in the last 12 months? This “Ted Talk” type presentation will address these and other thought provoking questions and provide 5 key things you can do to immediately impact both your organization and professional path.

We live in an increasingly interconnected world, where many in-house counsel represent multi-national corporations on legal matters that involve multiple cross-border jurisdictions. Given that not all legal systems across the globe recognize attorney-client privilege, in-house counsel must navigate the potential lack of protection over communications with their clients in certain territories. This module explores several hypotheticals in which the question regarding whether or not attorney-client privilege would apply in a given situation is examined along with strategies counsel can employ to ensure communications are protected from disclosure.

ATLANTA STREETCARGET LOOPED INTO THE CITY’S LOCALESWhat do city sites like Centennial Olympic Park, the Sweet Auburn Curb Market, and the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site have in common?
