The first session will focus on the ethics of settlement negotiations, examining the boundaries of competence, candor, and truthfulness, and how AI tools factor into modern practice. The second session will address attorney–client privilege in the workplace, especially for in-house counsel managing overlapping legal, HR, and business responsibilities. Together, they provide actionable insights for maintaining ethical integrity and protecting privileged communications in high-stakes legal environments.
