PHILADELPHIA – Montgomery McCracken partner Christopher Scott D’Angelo recently served as moderator and speaker for the 2015 International Corporate Counsel College, which is organized and presented in Europe each year by the International Association of Defense Counsel. D’Angelo moderated the 2015 ICCC panel discussion, “(Collective) Damages Claims – A Whole New World.” The panel discussion explored the European Directive on antitrust damages actions issued in November 2014 and related global developments in class actions.

The International Corporate Counsel College is an interactive forum that addresses the latest legal issues of particular importance to corporate general counsel and their legal staff in Europe or the U.K. and internationally. It is designed so that general counsel and other in-house lawyers can discuss issues of concern among themselves and with their outside defense counsel in a dynamic workshop of practical information and analysis.

His practice emphasizes litigation and preventive counseling in the fields of business and business torts, intellectual property, class actions and products liability. He serves as national counsel for several major U.S. clients and represents foreign concerns in the United States and United States concerns abroad. He is a frequent speaker and author on law-related matters regarding such topics as products liability and business litigation, class actions, multi-national litigation, attorney-client privilege, privacy, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), information and document management, alternative dispute resolution regimes and issues involving the Internet and the use of the Internet in litigation and investigations.
