Using examples of apocalyptic visions in cinema as analogy and backdrop, this 2-hour ethics CLE will discuss changes, or the lack of changes, in selected professional rules and the driving policy considerations underlying what might be characterized as ethics evolution by some and stagnation, devolution, or “apocalypse” for the profession by others as related to the following topics:

 

  • The (d)evolution from the doctrine of champerty to the acceptance for contingency fee work and litigation funding.
  • The (d)evolution from the need to strictly safeguard a lawyer’s professional independence from non-lawyer ownership and management to (some) tolerance for non-lawyer involvement in management or potentially law firm ownership.
  • The (d)evolution from bans on lawyer advertising to rules that broaden the ways in which lawyers may share information about legal services.
  • A shift from encouraging “zealous” representations and prioritizing client confidentiality and loyalty toward rules and laws emphasizing civility and conscripting lawyers to amplified gatekeeping duties.
  • The (d)evolution from full-service lawyers and law firms to unbundled legal services and artificial intelligence.
  • The rise of client-generated engagement letters and outside counsel guidelines.
  • State-by-state licensing and regulation of lawyers.

Join us for a 2-hour Patent intensive presentation.  Patent law has become increasingly important as technological innovation growth has accelerated. Most companies will face patent law issues at some point, whether in developing a patent portfolio, facing accusations of patent infringement, or licensing technology. The challenge for non-patent attorneys is facing a combination of technology and a field of law that can both be dauntingly complex. 

The first hour of the program will offer in-house counsel an overview of patent basics for newcomers to the field.    The second hour will offer a deeper dive into recent developments in patent law and key issues for those in-house counsel already having some exposure to patent law, in particular in technologies including life sciences/biotech and IT. 

Please join us for just one or both hours of this event.  

Agenda: 
12:00 pm – 1:00 pm – Patent Overview 
1:00 pm – 2:00 pm – Patent Law Recent Developments/Key Issues  

Presented by Rouget Frederic Henschel, Partner and Amanda Baker, Counsel at Potomac Law Group and David Beck, Chief IP Counsel and Vice President at VIAVI Solutions LLC.
