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.
