Programme:
1.15 to 2 pm: Risk allocation in emerging outsourcing models
Speakers:
Vik Khurana, Partner, Bristows
Nathan Evans, Partner, HCR Hewitsons
The interplay between risk and liability, and the technical and commercial solution, is obviously key to setting up and negotiating outsourcing contracts. We will look at how current trends in outsourcing models are changing the risk allocation landscape. In particular, how the prevalence of cloud, platforms, AI and automation, and the use of agile and other collaborative delivery methodologies, means there is often a need to reconsider how we think about key principles like liability clauses, IP ownership and licensing - sometimes the entire procurement and contractual strategy. We will also cover the kind of issues and disputes that can arise when the balance isn’t right.
2 - 3pm: Regulatory Focus
Speakers:
Anita Bapat, Partner, Harbottle & Lewis
Shayhan Patelmaster, Associate Legal Counsel, Google
Howard Duckworth, Managing Associate, Womble Bond Dickinson (UK) LLP
Matt Vaghela, Senior Associate, Baker McKenzie LLP
Looking at the regulatory aspects of outsourcing projects, including cloud service provision for customers in the financial services sector and other highly-regulated industries, international data transfers and the impact of recent sanctions on the provision of IT services.
Break
3.15 - 4.15 pm: Best practice in choosing and using dispute resolution (DR) mechanisms in outsourcing agreements
Speakers:
Shobaná Iyer, Barrister, Swan Chambers
Nick Peacock, Partner, Bird & Bird
Andre Taylor-Morris, Commercial Legal Counsel, Huma
An experienced panel will consider the options available to parties drafting outsourcing agreements, what factors will influence the choice of DR clauses, and core drafting components. Topics will include suitability of court litigation and arbitration, use of alternative dispute resolution (including mediation), and innovative DR practices that may benefit those in the outsourcing sector. The panel will also consider how to approach and manage disputes as they arise in order to preserve relationships, maximise outcomes, and reach a resolution in the most efficient and economical manner.
4.15 - 5 pm - Innovation in Outsourcing
Shanthini Satyendra, Managing Legal Counsel, Technology & Innovations Santander UK, Fellow, Society for Computers & Law
Many outsourcing projects cite “innovation” as being a core aim or aspiration, and indeed getting access to more experienced and extensive technical and commercial capabilities is often among the key drivers for entering into an outsourcing deal. However, questioned respondents in surveys often seem very negative in terms of their perceptions as to whether innovation has – in fact – been delivered. What then is “Innovation” in the context of outsourcing transactions, why is it not being delivered in practice, and how can the contract help to address this?
