In-housers of New York, this new Meetup group is for you:

Although professional networking opportunities for attorneys abound, few are geared specifically toward in-house counsel. The purpose of this group is to help change that by facilitating discussion and networking among New York area in-house lawyers. The group will enable us to share ideas, experiences, questions, anecdotes and even the occassional joke or random thought both online and in person. The group is open to area in-house attorneys and other practicing attorneys who were, at one time, in-house.

Did we forget to mention drinks? Their kick-off event is cocktails in Midtown on March 24th (place TBD). Head over and sign up today.

LexisNexis’ Lexis for Microsoft and Thomson Reuters’ WestlawNext aim to make online research easy, and effective, through very different strategies that will make for an interesting show at LegalTech New York, Feb. 1-3.

Ken Adams, the nationally recognized contracts guru and author of the AdamsDrafting blog, is presenting the sixth in a series of acclaimed webinars on contract drafting on July 14th. It consists of a conversation between Ken and Bryn Vaaler, a partner in the corporate group of Dorsey & Whitney LLP, about why contract language is the way it is and what the prospects are for change. The webcasts are offered by West LegalEdcenter and are sponsored by Business Integrity, developer of ContractExpress DealBuilder, a leading document-assembly software. Each webcast is launched with a “live” session, with Ken answering questions, and is then made available on demand.

The webcasts make Ken’s expertise available to those who aren’t able to make it to his seminars. They’ve been West LegalEdcenter’s most popular webcasts this summer. If you can’t make the webcast, don’t forget to pick up a copy of the second edition of Ken’s book “A Manual of Style for Contract Drafting”, which has been described as “the bible of contract drafting for years to come.”
