The Ethics of Artificial  Intelligence: Role Playing and Problem-Solving How Lawyers Can and Should Ethically Use This Technology as It Changes the Legal Profession (description generated with the help of ChatGPT): ChatGPT, Stable Diffusion, and other cutting-edge technologies are set to revolutionize the legal industry by leveraging the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to streamline and optimize essential tasks such as writing, investigation, research, review, analysis, pattern recognition, and other tasks lawyers do every day. Lawyers must consider the ethical implications of using these technologies in their work for clients. A range of critical ethical considerations is raised when applying these innovative and game-changing tools, including competence, supervision, confidentiality, plagiarism, ownership, authorship, fair use, bias, and even criminal conduct. We will also consider what the introduction of this technology means for the profession and practice of law. Join us as we delve deeper into the critical issues raised by the use of these new (and not so new) technologies.

Join the Employment Law Practice Group for In-Person CLE & Networking

Recently, both federal and state legislators and enforcement agencies have taken aim at employer-employee agreements, specifically regarding non-disclosure and non-disparagement clauses. However, calling these developments an outright ban on non-disclosure and non-disparagement agreements would be inaccurate. Attendees will learn about: the limitations on NDAs and non-disparagement clauses and when it may be appropriate to include those provisions in various types of agreements. 

This program will focus on several such developments: 

· the federal Speak Out Act, 

· the Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act, 

· New York State’s ban on NDAs in certain circumstances, and 

· the National Labor Relation Board’s McClaren Macomb decision.

This past year saw class actions spike yet again.  But there were also some significant developments for companies in the laws governing class actions.  We will dive into those developments in a wide variety of contexts, including consumer claims, privacy, ERISA, website accessibility and wage and hour claims.  Our focus will be intensely practical as we discuss effective techniques for preventing class actions in the first place but also for defeating them where your company is forced to litigate. 

Presented by Ed Barnidge and David Kurtzer-Ellenbogen, Partners at Williams & Connolly and Laura Tanner, Vice President Legal at Progrexion.

Year-over-year, the Federal Government spends more taxpayer dollars via non-traditional contract vehicles than FAR-based procurements. In FY22 alone, the Federal Government spent $1.1 trillion on grants and cooperative agreements as compared to $576 billion in traditional, FAR-based contracts (a stunning gap considering the delta doesn’t even account for the contextually trivial handful of billions awarded via Other Transaction Agreements (OTAs)). Looking ahead, the Federal Government is committed to spending even more through non-traditional vehicles. Recently, Congress passed several key pieces of legislation – including the American Rescue Plan Act, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the CHIPS and Science Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act – that collectively allocate trillions more for grants, cooperative agreements, and OTAs, with certain programs specifically targeted to commercial companies that have no previous experience performing these non-traditional vehicles.

Given this unprecedented investment of taxpayer dollars, and the non-traditional entities soon to receive these awards, the goal of this program is to provide a high-level overview of grants, cooperative agreements, and OTAs by comparing and contrasting with their FAR-based counterparts. Also, we’ll help you identify the key elements of each vehicle type so you can issue spot, and walk through the risks/rewards of each vehicle so you can advise business leaders before they (electronically) sign on the dotted line. 

Presented by Ryan Roberts and Anne Perry, Partners from Sheppard Mullin, Marko Kipa, Deputy General Counsel at Comcast Cable, and Tim Allsup, Senior Counsel at RTI International.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) announced in October 2022 that 20% of its enforcement actions for the 2022 fiscal year dealt with the crypto industry. Understanding how crypto works and where the next issues may arise will be a key part of doing business in 2023. Our panel will discuss the CFTC enforcement process and focus, where the Securities and Exchange Commission’s and other regulators’ jurisdiction overlaps, and a working foundation on crypto assets.
