How will in-house participants be matched with law firms and solo practitioners?
A Law Firm/In-House Link-Up Sessions Program Oversight Committee will be forwarding the names of qualified law firms and solo practitioners who submit their information to interested in-house counsel. In-house counsel will then choose which law firms/solo practitioners they are interested in scheduling a meeting with at the 2024 Fall Conference.
How will I know what kind of information the participating in-house counsel are interested in hearing? How will I know what their needs are so we can adequately prepare for the session?
We expect that the participating in-house counsel will be interested in a broad cross-section of legal areas. If, based on the company name or description alone, you are unsure whether the participating in-house counsel would be interested in meeting with you, you should list the name or designation of such participating in-house counsel. The Law Firm/In-House Link-Up Sessions Program Oversight Committee will review the law firm applications and match firms with in-house counsel. The sooner you are able to complete the law firm application form, the sooner we can make the match. Will endeavor to notify you by no later than October 9 if you have been selected by an in-house counsel participant and will be provided with more detailed information at that time to allow you to prepare for your session.

Anything else I should know about the Fall Conference Law Firm/In-House Link-Up Sessions?
AABANY reserves the right to determine the suitability of law firm/solo practitioner submissions; limit the number of law firms/solo practitioner submissions made to each in-house counsel participant; and make recommendations to participating in-house counsel. There can be no assurance that a law firm or solo practitioner that makes a submission for the Law Firm/In-House Link-Up Sessions Program will be selected or that participation in the Program will result in actual legal work.
