PART 1-          Ethical Issues for In-House Lawyers 

CHRISTIAN T. GORDON, Lewis Rice  https://www.lewisrice.com/christian-t-gordon/

This session will show how legal ethic rules apply to in-house lawyers. The rules do not distinguish between in-house and other attorneys in most circumstances, and case law supports that an in-house lawyer is subject to the requirements of Rule 1.8, especially in the area of compensation-created conflicts. 

Attorneys serving as in-house counsel are also required to address conflicts of interest that are both "directly adverse" as defined under Rule 1.7(a)(1) or a "material limitation" as defined under Rule 1.7(a)(2).

Corporate counsel serving in-house must determine what it means to adhere to confidentiality (Rule 1.6) and privilege restrictions under the rules and to whom in the company that privilege is owed (Rule 1.13).

 

PART 2-          THE SWORD AND THE SHIELD: THE POWER OF A  FLAWLESS INTERNAL INVESTIGATION 

SARAH E. MULLEN, Lewis Rice https://www.lewisrice.com/sarah-e-mullen/

This session will cover the nuts and bolts of how to conduct an efficient, effective, and ethical internal investigation. Sarah will discuss essential steps to take at the outset of the investigation, the investigative process, how to collect, review, and preserve documents, how to conduct and document witness interviews, and how to draft an investigative report.
