The roadmap and tools to achieve diversity and inclusion can be scaled for larger bars and their events, but also for use on a smaller scale such as law firms.

This webinar will focus on how the adjudicator’s implicit bias affects their decisions about credibility and their exercise of discretion. While adjudicators may recognize their own bias, this may not necessarily lead to stopping bias. Judges know that they need to assess credibility, and appellate judges are not supposed to replace their determination. The demeanor of the defendant, witnesses, prosecutor, and defense attorney can make a difference in the outcome of cases.

A professor, a former administrative law judge, and a District Court judge will discuss how adjudicators can recognize and attempt to eliminate implicit bias in decision-making.

Presented by the FBA Professional Development Committee and Judiciary Division

Key topics to be discussed:

  • How to recognize and eliminate implicit bias in decision-making
  • How bias affects decisions about credibility
  • How the demeanor of the defendant, witnesses, prosecutor and defense counsel affect decision-making, with an emphasis on discretion

Session I – M&A: Earnout provisions – Megan (Woodward) Daily

Earnouts are becoming an increasingly dominant factor in private company M&A transactions. Companies use earnouts to bridge the gap between what buyers are willing to pay and what sellers think they are worth. As a response to increased financing costs and rising stock-market valuations, earnouts are designed to protect both buyers and sellers—buyers receive protection against the risk of overpayment if the target company does not perform as well as planned after closing, and sellers receive buyer support in achieving earnout milestones. This session will discuss basic principles of earnouts, including advantages and disadvantages of using them in private M&A transactions, and how earnouts are structured to avoid disputes in today’s market.

Key topics to be discussed:

  • What is an earnout?
  • What are the advantages and disadvantages of using earn-outs in private M&A?
  • What earn-out terms are considered market?

Session II – M&A: Mastering deal structures and acquisition agreements – Patrick C. Quine

What are the nuts and bolts to an M&A transaction? How are M&A transactions structured and what goes into a purchase agreement in connection with the acquisition of a business?
