The modern workplace presents a continually evolving array of ethical issues for in-house counsel. The area of employment law has long been rife with ethical questions, which can only become more complex with the advent of remote and hybrid workplaces. Be prepared to identify and evaluate these challenges early and know how the Virginia Rules of Professional Responsibility apply. We will also examine where and when the Virginia Rules depart from the Model Rules.

This program will explore the ethical landmines waiting in workplace investigations, litigation discovery and related document issues, employee use of social media, employee monitoring, and other challenges presented by remote and hybrid workplaces. We will also examine issues relating to the representation of multiple interests, former employees, and strategies for what to do when things go wrong.

Presented by Elaine Horn and Ryan Scarborough, Partners at Williams & Connolly, Monica Bernstein, Executive Vice President and General Counsel at Crestline Hotels & Resorts, Grey Callaham, Senior Litigation Group Counsel at Johnson Controls and Lakshmi Williams, General Counsel & Corporate Secretary, North America at Transurban.

Whether your company is a serial acquirer or only grows more deliberately through acquisition, as in-house counsel you need to have command of the tax considerations that drive deal structure, valuation, and integration. Your tax department plays a key role in analyzing an acquisition and structuring the deal and you need to understand the issues that drive deal structure.

Attend this Webinar and:

  • Learn why a deal is structured as an asset purchase, stock acquisition or merger.
  • Determine and understand whether a deal is structured as a Section 368 tax-free reorganization or is taxable and the tax treatment of asset versus stock transactions.
  • How stock transactions can be treated as asset acquisitions under Section 338.

Our experts will highlight what they look for in tax due diligence and guide you through the importance and meaning of the representations and warranties in a purchase agreement. Finally, you will leave the webinar with a useful desk reference of the key terms and code sections that you will come across the next time your company is doing a deal.

Employees are leaving their jobs in record numbers, creating historic challenges for companies and complicating traditional labor and employment issues. This session will include a discussion on how businesses are dealing with the “Great Resignation” including labor shortage strains, managing unprecedented risks, remote work and flexibility requirements, IP and trade secret security, and other topics. The panel will take a deep dive into how businesses and their legal departments are handling each situation.

You're invited to join our special online event looking at some of the biggest sustainability trends impacting business on the continent.

Climate change and biodiversity loss are the two major interconnected issues facing our world, and Africa though not responsible for many of the drivers, faces a disproportionate share of the impacts.

There are still opportunities for us to prevent the worst of these impacts though, and develop innovative new financing solutions that benefit nature and people.

This webinar will be of interest to organizations who either wish to look at climate and biodiversity risks more closely, and the opportunities around sustainable finance or ESG.

Main Speaker: Justin Smith, Head of Business Development | WWF South Africa. Speakers from Ghana, Egypt, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Nigeria and Mauritius have confirmed to share their views on: What is the biggest sustainability issue they are seeing in their particular country.

As we all strive to excel in our careers, mentorship can add a level of enjoyment and meaning to balance the more challenging aspects of the practice of law. Mentorship in the in-house sphere can be especially helpful to build relationships, navigate dealing with company politics and developing professionally.

Please join the Practice and Career Management (P&CM) Committee for a discussion with experienced and passionate mentors and mentees. Hear about how mentoring has helped their careers, what they have learned from their interactions, the mentoring programs they have established and their thoughts on how best to develop useful mentoring relationships.

The program will be followed by a networking reception.  ACC Northeast's P&CM Committee would like to thank PTC for generously hosting us for this event.
