Navigating a Successful Private Secondary Offering Through Murky Waters

Even though they facilitate their long voyages as private companies, flourishing private secondary offerings are not always an unmitigated good for pre-IPO companies. In particular, without careful management at the company level, employee trading of private company shares can have a disastrous impact on issues like preserving confidential information or valuing options, and can be a distraction within the organization.

The Ethics of Pro Bono Practice by In-House Counsel

By Elizabeth Bluestein, Michael Sposato, and Laurie Zelon

Do you want to give back to your local community by representing indigent or other needy clients? Believe it or not, some states won't allow you to do so (e.g., if you are not locally-licensed, even though the rules permit to provide legal advice to your employer). And, even if a state does allow you to practice pro bono, you still need to keep in mind a whole host of ethical and practical issues, such as confidentiality and client loyalty, avoidance of conflicts and whether or not you should purchase malpractice insurance. Composed of in-house lawyers who have faced these challenges, this panel will explore current pro bono practice and ethics rules, how and where those rules are changing and what you can do to make sure you and your law department are in compliance.
