The attorney-client privilege is paramount to any legal representation.  But, it can be wrought with pitfalls if parties are not careful to conduct themselves appropriately to protect the privilege. This presentation will provide an overview of the attorney-client privilege, particularly as it relates to the role of in-house counsel.  The panel will discuss situations often faced by in-house counsel and the best practices for navigating these scenarios to avoid unintentional waiver.  Among other topics, the panel will discuss:

  • The scope of the attorney-privilege and its application to in-house counsel
  • How the privilege applies in matters involving joint representation
  • When dual purpose communications are protected
  • The role of privilege in internal investigations
  • How to avoid waiver in cross-border communications

This free 2 general credit CLE seminar is intended for any individuals interested in learning the process for sealing a criminal record in Nevada. This CLE seminar will be offered in-person, with an option to attend virtually, as well.

The technology and law in this area are rapidly evolving and not every lawyer can be an “expert” on e-discovery. There is a lot to know – some of it highly technical. By the same token, blind reliance on outside counsel and/or discovery companies to protect company interests—or the litigation budget—can be a costly mistake.

Here are essential tips for in-house lawyers and other legal professionals who are involved in the e-discovery process. This course will cover:

     • Processes that your company should consider handling in-house, where outside counsel can help, and when to engage e-discovery providers;

     • The critical steps to take as soon as claims or investigations are initiated and anticipated;

     • The questions you should be asking—and instructions you should be giving—your outside counsel and e-discovery companies;

     • How to turn e-discovery from a potential liability and pure cost center into a litigation advantage;

     • The most common e-discovery mistakes that can cost you big – in dealing with adversaries, as well as your own internal and external teams; and

     • What you should be doing NOW to make sure that your company is “litigation ready” in advance of future claims or investigations.

If you only have an hour to learn what you need to know about e-discovery, this is where you should invest it!

ACC Houston June Chapter Meeting CLE - The Woodlands Location
The New Era of ESG-Related Litigation and Enforcement Risks
June 30, 2022

11:30 am – 1:00 pm
Landry’s Seafood House, The Woodlands

The last few years have seen a sea of change in shareholder and enforcement agency expectations around corporate engagement in Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) issues. Now, private shareholders and public enforcement agencies are bringing ever-more-expansive actions alleging corporate failures to oversee ESG responsibilities or to disclose ESG-related failures. Join us for a discussion on the implications of this new era of ESG-related litigation and enforcement risks.

Recent years have seen several precedent-setting cases that are set to have an impact on commercial disputes for years to come. Join Torys LLP litigation partner Andrew Bernstein and Legal Counsel Arash Wared at Deloitte LLP as they discuss some of these commercial cases from Canadian courts and explore the lessons that can be learnt for making commercial arrangements. The session will cover the Cineplex v. Cineworld case and the Extreme Ventures case, among others.

This program contains 1.5 hours of Substantive content under the Law Society of Ontario's mandatory CPD Regime.

ACC Members: This event is free of charge and you must RSVP to attend. Please RSVP by no later than Wednesday, June 8, 2022.
