Join ACC Central Florida for a lunch & learn presented by Iggy Garcia of Ogletree Deakins. In this CLE session you will learn how to avoid common mistakes that make your investigation less useful. Discussion will center on building investigations that best protect your company in subsequent litigation.

Congressional investigations present significant risks for companies and individuals. Whether your CEO receives a demand to testify at a public hearing or a request to respond to a seemingly innocuous congressional inquiry—regardless of the subject matter—an effective response to a congressional investigation must take into account the potential political, public relations, reputational, and civil and criminal legal consequences. These investigations require experienced counsel and careful preparation.

 

In this webinar, we will provide practical tips on how to respond to an investigation. Using excerpts from prior hearings, we will demonstrate what can go wrong and how thoughtful preparation can help avoid these pitfalls.

 

Presented by Janice Bashford, Partner, Legislative & Public Policy, Mark Epley, Partner, Legislative & Public Policy, Amy Jeffress,  Co-Chair & Partner, White Collar Defense & Investigations at Arnold & Porter and Patrick Samsel, General Counsel at Fors Marsh.

1.5 Hours of VA MCLE pending.

Our affinity group serves to offer opportunities to get together, share experiences, and discuss topics of interest to Hispanic/Latinx in-house counsel and allies. Let's plan together and enjoy the year ahead of us!

Beyond merely protecting creative developments via intellectual property protection (trademark, copyright, patent), the seminar addresses the often-overlooked notion that developments quite often are best protected via multiple ways. Multi-IP protection often is overlapping, such as with copyright and design patent, but in many instances, it is not (e.g., utility patent versus trademark). Products, processes and other things get more and more complicated with the passage of time, and understanding how different forms of IP work together, i.e., how they interplay with one another, becomes even more important to manufacturers, retailers, and other types of entities. Sub-topics to be discussed include:

  • Brief discussions of criteria for trademark, copyright, patent
  • The benefits and shortcomings of each form of IP protection
  • How each form of IP protection relates to one another
  • How each form of IP protection is applicable to various examples discussed

Whether the concern is email phishing, social media posts, or ChatGPT and the like, there seems to be no end to the ways in which employees can carelessly disclose confidential company information.  With the best of intentions, employees continue to fall for “urgent” requests from the CFO and post non-public information on social media.  Now, with the explosion of AI tools and the publicity surrounding generative AI, creative, well-meaning employees are experimenting with what appear to be helpful technologies to make their jobs easier.  Need a marketing pitch?  Copy and paste the company’s marketing plan.  Need to interpret and organize data?  Drop in company numbers.  Need to write software code?  Plug in some of your company’s existing source code.  Need to write a legal memo? Surely ChatGPT and the like can do that.  Oops.
 
How is an organization to protect its information from threats like these - enhanced monitoring of employees’ activity online or enhanced interrogation techniques?  While respecting your employees’ integrity as well as their albeit limited privacy in the workplace, there are many paths to solving the challenge without approaching it as a zero sum result.  This panel will address the ways in which the use of innovative technology, maintaining employee privacy, and improving IP protections can coexist.
