The American Law Institute-American Bar Association (ALI-ABA;
Philadelphia, PA) has entered into a partnership with SAI Global
(Plainsboro, NJ) to provide ALI-ABA clients with customized access to
SAI Global's compliance and risk management solutions to train
staff and manage the integration of compliance and risk information into
core business processes SAI Global supplies a range of information and
services to help organizations manage risk, achieve compliance and
improve business.
SAI clients will also have access to ALI-ABA CLE services and
portal solutions for legal professional development. The new partnership
is designed to help legal, compliance, ethics, information security and
data privacy professionals stay current with regulations, standards,
case law and best practices, understand emerging legal and compliance
issues, respond to external events and develop and execute appropriate
internal policies and employee training.
The ALI-ABA noted "through this strategic business alliance,
both ALI-ABA and SAI Global will provide clients with a more complete
range of compliance, risk management and legal education
solutions." The ALI-ABA and SAI Global have previously collaborated
on The Corporate Compliance Series, a set of video webcasts that
examined preventive strategies for specific areas of legal risk (such as
the Foreign Corruption Practices Act, Antitrust and Government
Contracting) using the compliance and ethics program elements set forth
by the Organizational Sentencing Guidelines.
Also, the ALI-ABA has entered into a partnership with Professional
Education Group (PEG; Minnetonka, MN), a producer of continuing
education programs for law firms, corporations, bar associations, law
schools and government agencies, to give ALI-ABA members access to
PEG's online programming.
Over the coming months, PEG's classic and new programming,
including seminars, video DVDs, audio CDs, and in-house live
programming, will be available from ALI-ABA. ALI-ABA will also serve as
the primary web-hosting site for both classic and new online CLE
programming produced by PEG. The immediate addition of nearly 100 hours
of online PEG programming will bring ALI-ABA's online content to
1100 hours of on-demand content with downloadable course materials.
