Bob Dylan’s famous line “The times, they are a’ changin’” has never had more resonance than in the practice of law in 2020.  Remote work, meeting with clients and business partners virtually, taking fingers to keyboard rather than pen to paper, finding and producing evidence from the recesses of computer systems all raise ethical issues you probably never learned in law school or at traditional ethics seminars.

This rather untraditional, interactive presentation will address the ethical challenges of practicing law across electronic frontiers, including

  • How to satisfy the duty of technological knowledge and competence
  • Keeping client information and communications secure
  • Protecting that information across national borders within which privilege laws may differ significantly from those in the U.S.

In this evolving hypothetical, in-house counsel confront a series of issues, some prompted by COVID-19 and some not, and then are guided through the nuts and bolts of their ethical investigation and remediation. 

Anticipated topics include

  • Investigating alleged fraud arising from the pandemic
  • Investigating non-COVID issues such as corruption and harassment that in-house counsel continue to address, and
  • Related privilege, conflicts and other ethics implications. 

Implicit Bias in the Boardroom and the Courtroom - How to Recognize It and Deal With It

Implicit bias is the unconscious attribution of particular qualities to a member of a certain social group. 

Even the most self-aware individuals probably harbor some implicit biases, whether they realize it or not.  These biases play out every day in corporate America and the judicial system. 

This seminar will address understanding, recognizing and counteracting implicit bias in the work place and the courtroom. 

Immigration law continues to be an under appreciated area of Australian compliance. Despite this, significant penalties can apply, including civil and criminal penalties capturing company officers.

This session will focus on the essential elements of any organisational immigration policy – who should it cover, why, when and how.

Find out how to mitigate risk, manage obligations and ensure your organisation is fully compliant with this dynamic area of Australian law.

During the webinar Hammond Taylor partner, Jackson Taylor, will also provide an update on how the global pandemic is affecting Australian employer's use of the immigration program, providing a 30 minute overview of how the immigration landscape has changed since the pandemic hit our shores.
