In this tight labor market, many companies are wisely doubling-down on their diversity and inclusion focus.  In this presentation we will discuss the important role that internal communication can have on these efforts, with a specific focus on reducing micro-aggressions and implicit bias in the workplace.

 

Even well-managed companies are vulnerable to unforeseen circumstances and emergencies. A mismanaged crisis can result in significant and potentially irreparable damage to your business, financial stability, and reputation. In-house lawyers are frequently called upon to serve as a “voice of reason” to help assess the potential impacts of a crisis objectively and to work with the leadership team to mitigate legal, financial, and reputational risks. When dealt with effectively, these events can be a catalyst for improved performance and organizational growth, heightened relations with government agencies and improved brand perception.

The panel will talk through the issues, discuss the options, and provide practical advice on how to prepare for and lead your company and team through a crisis. In the current environment, all companies face increased vulnerability. Learn tools to help you prepare for and assess a crisis situation and formulate a plan should such a situation arise for your company.  

Presented by J. Steven Patterson, Partner at Hunton Andrews Kurth, Lyndsey Estin, Partner at Kekst CNC and Nicole Greenidge-Hoskins, Senior Vice President, General Counsel at the Human Rights Campaign and Human Rights Campaign Foundation.

Counsel responding to cybercrime incidents are faced with an impossible task: Solving for an imminent crises while addressing customers, regulators, forensic IT, and communications.  Maintaining attorney client privilege during this critical period is important but increasingly challenged.  This panel will discuss opportunities and obstacles to maintaining privilege while referencing relevant Virginia Rules of Professional Responsibility Standards.

2.0 Hours of VA Ethics MCLE pending.

ACC Northeast and JAMS invite you to this webinar to hear from practitioners on the key issues and disputes that in-house counsel face on a daily basis, and how various ADR strategies can help overcome barriers at any stage of conflict, and help minimize and/or eliminate them, without involving lengthy litigation or disruptions.

Beyond the more well- known offerings (i.e., traditional mediation and arbitration), we will explore other ADR tools.  Depending on the dispute, in some situations other approaches are more appropriate, effective and/or economical.  Plus, these options customized for specific industries, can prevent conflicts before they arise or provide more flexible, scalable and creative resolution paths when conflicts do emerge.  Our panel will also explore how to effectively draft ADR contract provisions and how the right language, whether non-binding or binding, can also be a useful deterrent to the escalation of disputes in some situations.

Register below.  Dial-in information will be provided within 24 hours of the webinar.
