The Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC) is the world's largest organization serving the professional and business interests of attorneys who practice in the legal departments of corporations, associations, nonprofits and other private-sector organizations around the globe.
Practicing in today's digital environment creates ethical challenges that simply did not exist years ago. How do we interpret and apply the old rules of professional conduct in the context of ever-changing technology, massive volumes of ESI, and remote work? This program will explore the impact of technology on the practice of law, and how in-house counsel can recognize and comply with their ethical obligations.
This interactive CLE session includes a chance to win assorted gift card prizes!
The prominence of “mental health” has reached the forefront of employees’ minds in recent years. However, while employers have started promoting mental health-facing benefits and programs, they have also seen an uptick in mental health-related accommodation requests. In this session, in-house counsel will gain essential knowledge on managing mental health accommodation requests while formulating policies that support workplace wellness. Key areas of focus include legal compliance in mental health accommodations, strategies for sustaining a health-conscious work environment, and maintaining confidentiality in the accommodation process. Attendees will leave equipped with practical tools to create a supportive and legally sound workplace that prioritizes employee well-being. This session is an invaluable opportunity to enhance your understanding of integrating mental health considerations into your company's policies and practices.
This event is free for members and non-members (must be in-house council).
