Sustainable & Environmental Product Labeling: How to Not Get Dinged for Doing Good
Product compliance has always been an area of focus for all companies offering consumer products in the United States. Sustainability and other “companies doing good” initiatives have recently been the target of consumer and government lawsuits and enforcement actions, causing more internal focus and vetting of these initiatives by companies. Outside counsel are also involved. One key litigation risk related to consumer product labeling for sustainability, environmental claims, and safety is the potential for false advertising claims. Plaintiffs allege that a company's representations about the sustainability or environmental friendliness of its products are deceptive or misleading. In these cases, plaintiffs often argue that the company's claims are not substantiated or that the company is engaging in "greenwashing" to appeal to eco-conscious consumers. Another potential litigation or enforcement risk is the possibility of claims for deceptive trade practices. Plaintiffs and/or the Federal Trade Commission may allege that a company's "sustainable" or "environmentally responsible" product label is deceptive because the product does not actually meet these standards. The panel will evaluate today's legal landscape around these product labeling issues and highlight some strategies for proactively responding to, and avoiding, such claims.

Balancing the Power of Generative AI in Legal Practice with Attorney Ethics
Generative artificial intelligence ("AI") tools have wide-ranging application for the practice of law and the administrative functions of a legal practice, regardless of practice areas. Additionally, generative AI is attracting the attention of regulators and legislators across the United States and the world. Attorneys must be prepared to understand and use generative AI and advise their clients about generative AI. Like any technology, generative AI must be used in a manner that conforms to a lawyer's professional responsibility obligations. This presentation will examine generative AI from the point of view of attorney ethics, explore the "ethics" of using or advising about generative AI, and suggest best practices for attorneys regarding their duties of confidentiality, disclosure, supervision, and competence.
