· Best ways to protect your future and current patents

· When copyrights and trademarks should come into play

· IP enforcement rules of engagement

Whether clients are facing regulatory obligations, e-discovery and other litigation costs, privacy risk, or increasing cyber threats, the financial and reputational impact of keeping legacy data and paper documents beyond their operational life has hit a point of critical mass. In this program, our experts will discuss obligations attorneys have to counsel their clients on effective data retention and disposition.

This program will address ethical issues facing in-house attorneys, who don’t operate trust accounts but have other important compliance concerns.  We will focus on communications with opposing parties (Nev. RPC 4.2), licensing issues for in-house counsel (Nev. SCR 49.1(1)(h), business transactions with clients (Nev. RPC 1.8), and the duty of communication and the scope of authority between lawyer and client (Nev. RPC 1.2 and 1.4). We will also discuss some “worst of the worst” disciplinary and malpractice cases from the last year.

ACC-SoCal will be participating in Jenner & Block’s Project for the Innocent Pro Bono CLE Event on Tuesday, February 21^st at noon in their Los Angeles office, located at 633 W. 5^th St., Suite 3600. Professor Laurie Levenson, who leads Loyola’s Project for the Innocent (LPI), will be presenting a CLE training on how to screen innocence cases to find meritorious ones. At the conclusion of the event, we will discuss ways to partner with each other and Professor Levenson to evaluate these cases and assist those who have been wrongfully convicted.

This screening project involves reviewing information provided by the prisoner, legal documents including appellate briefs and decisions, and evidence from the prisoner’s trial, and drafting a memo explaining why we do or do not recommend that the case be accepted for further investigation.

This event is open to lawyers and paralegals. There is an option to attend virtually via Zoom. Lunch will be served for in-person attendees
