This event will provide an in-depth exploration of key ethical issues in legal practice, including outside counsel guidelines, civility, and joint representation. Attendees will gain practical insights into managing conflicts, upholding professionalism, and ensuring ethical compliance in complex situations. 

AI: Practical Insights on AI, Automation, and Ethics
In this discussion, a multi-disciplinary team of attorneys will discuss how legal teams are applying AI and automation to drive efficiency, streamline operations and deliver greater value within the boundaries of their ethical obligations. Drawing on their experience advising clients from across sectors, including those with affiliated and tech-driven business lines, they will provide practical insights into what is working, what is not and where we believe the future of legal is headed.

The DEI Landscape: Legal Challenges and Their Impact in the Judicial System
This session will explore how recent federal legal developments and judicial scrutiny of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives are shaping broader conversations about justice, fairness, and legitimacy within the U.S. legal system. Presently, there are competing interpretations of what is lawful in the DEI landscape—the law says one thing, public opinion says another, and the presidential administration has issued executive orders and agency directives seemingly intended to change the law. As courts increasingly weigh in on the constitutionality and legality of DEI-related employment practices, in-house counsel must not only ensure compliance but also understand how these legal outcomes influence public perceptions of fairness and the credibility of the judiciary. In-house counsel is at the forefront and, with a rapidly evolving legal and public opinion landscape, compliance in this area is rife with legal and ethical issues, both under the law and the rules of professional conduct. This session will provide strategic guidance for navigating the intersection of legal compliance, ethical responsibility, and public accountability in today’s evolving judicial landscape.
