This 60-minute CLE program will discuss tricky issues in-house counsel may confront when their organization is conducting an internal investigation. The interactive program will provide case studies and real-life examples of when ethical concerns and even criminal exposure have resulted from behavior during internal investigations. The program will outline best practices and offer practical tips on what to do (and what not to do) when conducting an internal investigation, dealing with the government, and managing corporate crises.
This seminar will address lessons in internal company communications and how those communications can play out in litigation.
Please join us for a fascinating ‘smoking gun’ tale, using video clips from depositions in the famous DuPont Chemical trials featured in the movie Dark Waters. Through this engrossing story, Dave Butler, a member of the DuPont litigation team, illustrates the critical role corporate counsel plays in managing internal communications to best protect the company. Unmanaged corporate behavior and internal communications can play a pivotal role at trial – and have devastating results in the hands of the jury.
To be provided: useful take-away materials about the attorney-client privilege in the corporate setting and the discovery of electronic information stored on personal devices.
