Description
The role of corporate counsel is evolving and growing more complex daily. The job is becoming more global in scope, and “real time” advice and decisions are needed to keep pace in the global marketplace. Technology is dramatically changing and speeding the pace in the workplace, but it also presents new and complex areas of concern for corporate counsel. There is an increased focus on corporate compliance and ethics issues as a result of the recent financial crisis and the passage of new regulations. Corporate counsel must take on these new challenges and be cognizant of the new as well as more traditional ethical traps and duties in their job.
Taught by Michael Aprahamian and Johnnie Jackson, frequent lecturers on ethics and the practice of law with over 50 years of combined legal practice experience, this course will: (1) examine “real-life” ethical bear traps corporate counsel will likely encounter; (2) highlight key issues for corporate counsel to consider or seek guidance on when encountering ethical bear traps; and (3) provide practice-tested tips and best practices to avoid and overcome ethical bear traps.
