Internal investigations can be advisable or required when evaluating an employee complaint or defending the company against a formal employment claim. But there are many questions: Should you speak directly to the litigating former employee? What if the litigant is a current employee? Can you ask human resources to communicate with the litigant directly on your behalf? Can you speak to co-workers? Can you require co-workers to speak to you? Can you check the litigant's social media posts? Can you read their Internet email if accessed from your employer's network? Can you, and should you, protect the attorney–client and work product evidentiary privileges? And what if you are investigating your own boss? Learn how to ethically conduct an employment investigation from a panel of experienced corporate counsel as they discuss challenges, ethical obligations and best practices of internal employment investigations and litigation around the globe.

This session will highlight why you should have a program to proactively identify and mitigate insider threats. It will focus on developing an awareness of the common types of insider threats; providing an understanding of the security risks posed by insiders to your company and customers; sharing several easy steps for building a program to detect and prevent insider threats; identifying the legal and privacy risks domestically and globally when developing and implementing a program; and discussing the global considerations when developing a program.

This session will explore the circumstances under which your business runs the risk of that exposure and how your company can respond.
