Over  the past several years, the role of the general counsel (GC) has evolved  from in-house legal advisor to strategic partner. Once referred to dismissively as the office of “no,” corporate legal departments are now  expected to deliver a competitive advantage by navigating regulations, easing complexity and anticipating future risks.

Please join us on October 28th, either in person at the offices of       Jackson Walker or via Zoom for a discussion on Five New Roles the General  Counsel is Expected to Fill:
 

(1) Guardian Over Emerging Risk –Erica Benites Giese
(2) Chief Health Officer and Guardian of Employee Safety –  Rick Garza

 (3) Manager of Alternative Investment Portfolio – Stephanie Chandler
(4) Steward of Inclusion and Diversity – Robert Soza
(5) Manager of Revenue Collection/Distressed Business Partners – Scott Rose


 

The ever-changing landscape of employment law can leave employers feeling unsettled. As employment laws evolve, so to must employer practices and policies. From recent changes to restrictive covenants, new reporting requirements under the Equal Pay Act, and the need for written policies on sexual harassment, the speakers will cover the latest developments in employment law in Chicago, Illinois, and beyond.

Navigating investigations has become increasingly complex for organizations. Drivers include 

- a permanent shift to a hybrid work environment prompted by the Covid-19 pandemic

- the continued acceleration of new technologies and methods of communication within organizations, and 

- greater regulatory scrutiny, rules and fines across jurisdictions and sectors.

 

To navigate this complex landscape, organizations need to have sophisticated approaches underpinned by people, process and technology. They include ensuring that robust compliance frameworks are in place, centered around prevention, detection and response mechanisms, and, when investigations do arise, effectively balancing legal and practical considerations. These apply to areas such as preservation of evidence, privilege, external communications and working across jurisdictions.

 

During this 60-minute webinar on Thursday, May 12, 2022, our expert speakers will review the investigations landscape's key drivers and trends, best practices in how organizations can anticipate and manage the investigations process, and the role that advanced technology and external providers play in supporting it.

 
Presenters:

Courtney Brod, Director, FTI Consulting

David Meadows, Senior Managing Director, FTI Consulting

Kathryn Wozny, Senior Counsel, Medtronic

Surya Saxena, Partner, Greene Espel

 

Program admission is free and open to ACC members and in-house counsel guests. 1 Standard CLE credit is pending in Minnesota.
