Overview (Program Summary)
A program hosted by:
ACC GeorgiaAll but three states have passed hate crimes laws, which generally provide harsher penalties for crimes motivated by a victim’s race, color, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, or disability. But how much do you know about how these laws work, who they protect, and why they’re an important tool in the fight against racism? The ACC Georgia Chapter welcomes Eversheds Sutherland (US) LLP whose attorneys, Amanda R. Giffin and John E. Sharpe, will present this engaging discussion.
Speakers
Amanda Giffin is a commercial litigator, counseling clients on a variety of complex business litigation. Her practice focuses on professional liability matters, with a particular emphasis on accounting liability. Amanda represents accounting firms and their professionals, public and private companies, officers and directors, insurance companies, and national law firms in federal and state court litigation, bankruptcy court adversary proceedings, arbitration, before the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and in connection with Department of Justice, grand jury and other civil and criminal investigative bodies.
John Sharpe focuses on an array of business and commercial litigation matters, including insurance, financial services, and securities litigation and enforcement. His work also includes advising clients managing the effects of internal investigations. John also routinely advises clients on compliance and litigation strategies relating to proposed and existing legislation.
Notes
Attendance is limited to ACC members and their invited in-house counsel guests, as well as prospective ACC members. ACC membership is open to attorneys who practice law as in-house counsel employees of organizations and who do not hold themselves out to the public for the practice of law.
