FIFTH ANNUAL /ACC ROUNDTABLE
s Canada looks to be one of the first countries in the developed world to see an end to the recession, and businesses start to breathe a little easier, some chang- es implemented during the recession to make things
more efficient are here to stay, say participants at the Canadian Lawyer InHouse/Association of Corporate Counsel roundtable. Sponsored by Osler Hoskin & Harcourt LLP, and moderated
by Canadian Lawyer editorial director Gail Cohen, the fifth annual roundtable was held in May. This year's roundtable dealt with some of the most important
topics affecting in-house counsel and their relationship with law firms — project management, value billing, technology, and risk management. Here are some highlights from the discussion. Please visit
