A candid and thoughtful discussion regarding the role that the general counsel (GC) has in managing the heightened level of ethical scrutiny as it applies to the “C-Level” suite. Included in this review will be the challenges that the office of the general counsel faces in balancing the role of ethical counselor to the members of the executive management team and the GC’s fiduciary responsibility to the board of directors. We will review recent “C-Level” ethical transgressions and debate appropriate courses of action as they relate to preventing ethical breaches and dealing with the consequences once they have occurred.
