This interactive workshop facilitated by LK will explore in-house counsel’s role in responding to legal and ethical issues arising from conflicts and other difficult situations that might arise in an organisation.
Through a case-study that will guide our discussion, we will use the collective wisdom and experience of attendees to delve into some of the legal and ethical issues that in-house counsel may face or be required to address when a technical or organisational conflict arises. We will explore the impact of culture on critical decisions by in-house teams, and consider obligations under the Solicitor Conduct Rules, and how they guide and impact upon decision-making.
This session will form the first of a two-part series on the impact of conflict with a Breakfast Briefing to follow that will look at techniques for addressing and resolving conflict within the workplace.
Light refreshments and networking: 5.30pm - 6pm ACST
