Join McLane Middleton & ACC Northeast for a New Hampshire CLE session about two important Ethics topics that in-house counsel must navigate.

The Hybrid Role of In-House Counsel and Protecting Privilege

In-house counsel frequently serve multiple roles for their companies, providing both legal advice and business advice.  Wearing multiple hats has important implications for the attorney-client privilege.  Where an attorney’s presence in a meeting blurs the distinction between various roles, the confidentiality associated with attorney-client privilege can also be blurred.  This session will explore best practices for in-house counsel assuming various roles.

Unauthorized Practice of Law

Many companies have offices in several states or countries.  Some states have special exceptions for in-house lawyers that allow them to bypass special admission into the states when acting as in-house counsel.  Other states do not have such an exception.  ABA rules provide some guidance on how to navigate providing legal advice in multiple jurisdictions while ensuring compliance with applicable professional conduct rules. 

Join us for this discussion, earn CLE credit, and learn best practices for navigating various company roles and compliance for multi-state jurisdictions.  This program will be followed by a networking reception.

In 2024, DOJ launched a new Corporate Whistleblower Awards Pilot Program that incentivizes whistleblowers to report corporate misconduct in exchange for financial rewards.  This new program provides significant incentive for employees to report internal company information to the government if they believe it demonstrates unlawful activity.  Such an incentive places renewed emphasis on corporate investigations in the whistleblower context.  This presentation will provide an overview of practical and ethical considerations when investigating a whistleblower complaint, including representation and privilege issues, treatment of whistleblowers, and considerations on whether to self-report to the government.  It will also touch upon executive misconduct investigations and the unique aspects of these matters that need to be taken into consideration.
