Workplace investigations are a frequent and challenging issue for any employer and, consequently, for in-house counsel to advise and manage. A flawed workplace investigation can result in organizational issues and in significant liability against an employer. It is therefore imperative for in-house counsel to acquire the skills and knowledge needed to conduct a thorough, fair and effective workplace investigation. 

This session focuses on the essential investigation skills needed by in-house counsel who are charged with advising on, or conducting, workplace investigations. The session will include instructional components, interactive questions and discussion regarding strategies to deal with issues that can arise when conducting investigations. 

By the end of this session, attendees will understand how to:

·  recognize when an investigation is required and how to advise your internal client accordingly

·  organize and conduct an efficient and effective investigation

·  identify and address issues that arise when conducting investigations 

·  make certain that your investigation is conducted fairly

·  avoid claims and allegations that the investigation is flawed or biased 

·  best ensure that your investigation will hold up under the scrutiny of a decision-maker

·  write the report and conclude the investigation

 

This program contains 30 minutes of Professionalism and 30 minutes of Substantive content.

Intellectual Property Update for In-House Counsel

a Presentation by Jack Wheat, member, McBrayer PLLC

Live Presentation in Louisville at 500 West Jefferson Street, 4th Floor

Remote Presentation in Lexington at 201 East Main Street, 9th Floor

Humans have created artificial intelligence machines and their artificial intelligence machines have created valuable inventions and creative works.  But, thus far, the U.S. Copyright Office has refused to register works authored by artificial intelligence and the U.S. Patent Office has refused to register inventions created by artificial intelligence.  The ACC Georgia Chapter welcomes Greenberg Traurig, LLP whose attorneys, Joel Feldman and Robert King, will present “Out of the Bot Thinking: The Legal Battle to Recognize Artificial Intelligence as Valid Patent Inventors and Copyright Authors”. This program will explore the question of whether Congress and the courts should allow the patent registration of these inventions and copyright registration of these works, including one AI pioneer’s journey through the courts.

Companies rely on the protections of privilege to obtain sound legal advice to guide their businesses. Thus, it is critical for in-house counsel to stay up-to-date on the ins and outs of the various privileges, including attorney-client privilege, and common interest privilege. The ACC Georgia Chapter welcomes Fish & Richardson attorneys Noah Graubart, Aamir Kazi, and Dexter Whitley who will guide you through common pitfalls of privilege that companies fall into and how to avoid them.

Our Fish speakers will cover the following topics and more:

  • Different types of privilege and when they apply
  • Waiver of privilege and scope of the waiver
  • Common interest privilege and potential pitfalls
