With our rapidly changing cultural and political landscape, employers are receiving more complex internal complaints, such as allegations of systemic discrimination, cultural misconduct, and unconscious bias. Shoddy investigations of these complaints have significant ramifications for employers such as protracted litigation, PR nightmares, and low employee morale. This session will address the new wave of internal complaints, how to effectively investigate them and, most importantly, when to step away from a complaint and contact outside counsel.

Join ACC St. Louis and Armstrong Teasdale as we share how you can help your company navigate the changes as they occur: 

  • An introduction to U.S. sanctions compliance
  • Current U.S. sanctions against Russia (Belarus and Ukrainian breakaway regions): 
    • Banking restrictions,
    • Specially designated Nationals (SDNs)
    • Understanding ownership & control, export controls, import restrictions and new developments
  • Review of EU and UK sanctions programs and reconciling U.S. global business compliance across multiple sanction regimes
  • Key Business issues arising from sanctions:
    • Force Majeure & terminating agreements with Russian parties
    • Winding down and exiting Russian operations
    • Shipping and other issues
  • Preparing for what is on the horizon 

This 60-minute CLE program will discuss tricky issues in-house counsel may confront when their organization is conducting an internal investigation. The interactive program will provide case studies and real-life examples of when ethical concerns and even criminal exposure have resulted from behavior during internal investigations. The program will outline best practices and offer practical tips on what to do (and what not to do) when conducting an internal investigation, dealing with the government, and managing corporate crises.

Wine/Beer and appetizers will be served at the program.
