Milbank LLP partners Kamal Nesfield and Alex Romain will speak at the Elevating Black Excellence Summit on April 27.
Mr. Nesfield, a partner in the firm’s Leveraged Finance Group in New York, will speak on the “Private Equity, Cross Border Transactions and Trends” panel. This expert panel will explore the current state of deal volume and expectations for the future, changes in deal terms and operating covenants, regulatory, geopolitical and compliance considerations impacting dealmaking, changes in the due diligence process, and other major trends affecting private equity and cross-border transactions.
Mr. Romain, a partner in Milbank’s Litigation and Arbitration Group in Los Angeles and a leading national trial lawyer with nearly 25 years of experience, will speak on the “Minimizing Litigation Exposure from Nuclear Verdicts” panel. This session will cover what nuclear verdicts are and why they have risen, techniques to identify high-risk claims early and prevent escalation, effective management of litigated claims to avoid a nuclear verdict, elements of a jury trial, how to suggest a verdict number and still get a defense verdict, and more on minimizing litigation exposure.
The full-day virtual event will showcase the talents of Black law firm partners before an audience of influential in-house counsel. Each session is moderated by in-house counsel and engages Black partners with extensive legal experience across multiple practice areas, including mergers & acquisitions, cryptocurrency, litigation, fintech, privacy and data protection, enforcement, intellectual property, corporate governance, labor and employment, and compliance and investigations.
The Elevating Black Excellence Regional Summit Series is presented by the Black In-House Council (BIHC) Network.
