ACC NortheastJoin us on Thursday, October 24, 2024, for an insightful seminar on the nuances of ethical competence within New Hampshire’s professional conduct rules.
This program is an essential opportunity for in-house counsel to deepen their understanding of ethical responsibilities and stay ahead of the curve in a rapidly changing legal landscape. Don’t miss out on this chance to enhance your understanding of technological competence under the ethics rules.
Key Topics:
- Technical Competence: Learn what in-house counsel must do to ensure they meet the technical competence requirements for their clients. Our speakers will provide practical advice and strategies to maintain and enhance your technical skills in an ever-evolving legal environment.
- Organization as a Client: Understand the unique ethical obligations when representing an organization under the rules of professional conduct. Our professional rules require that a lawyer representing an organization address violations of legal obligations by those within or to the organization under certain circumstances. We will explore how to navigate these responsibilities, including when to refer matters to higher authorities within the organization and when a lawyer may reveal otherwise confidential information about the lawyer’s representation of the organization.
- Practical Considerations: Gain valuable insights into the everyday ethical challenges faced by in-house counsel. Our experienced speakers will share real-world examples and practical solutions to help you uphold the highest ethical standards in your role.
- AI Policies: As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly integrated into legal practice, the need for robust AI policies is gaining critical importance. Discover the ethical implications of AI in the legal field and learn how to develop and implement effective AI policies for your organization.
This in-person program will also provide a great networking opportunity to connect with your fellow in-house colleagues in New Hampshire!
