Organization as a Client: Understand the unique ethical obligations when representing an organization under the rules of professional conduct. Our professional rules require that a lawyer representing an organization address violations of legal obligations by those within or to the organization under certain circumstances. We will explore how to navigate these responsibilities, including when to refer matters to higher authorities within the organization and when a lawyer may reveal otherwise confidential information about the lawyer’s representation of the organization.
Practical Considerations: Gain valuable insights into the everyday ethical challenges faced by in-house counsel. Our experienced speakers will share real-world examples and practical solutions to help you uphold the highest ethical standards in your role.
AI Policies: As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly integrated into legal practice, the need for robust AI policies is gaining critical importance. Discover the ethical implications of AI in the legal field and learn how to develop and implement effective AI policies for your organization.
This in-person program will also provide a great networking opportunity to connect with your fellow in-house colleagues in New Hampshire!
