Session I – Navigating Ethics in the Evolving World of ESG
As Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) continues to gain momentum across industries of every sort, there is no shortage of articles, podcasts and webinars focused on the growing movement. While many of these are geared towards investors and the boardroom, this presentation will focus specifically on the role of the in-house lawyer, highlighting some of the key ethical issues that can arise as ESG strategies are developed and implemented in what may be best described as a minefield of evolving regulations and best practices. Real-world hypotheticals will be used to walk through how the Rules of Professional Conduct governing confidentiality, competency, loyalty and who you represent can apply in this changing landscape.
Session II – The Attorney-Client Privilege and the Role of In-House Lawyers
This presentation addresses the attorney-client privilege, attorney work product doctrine, and attorney confidentiality obligations, including recent developments in these areas. Geared toward an audience of in-house attorneys, the program highlights issues that in-house counsel should consider in advising their clients and educating their business counterparts about privilege and confidentiality.
