Much like in Shakespearean plays, a government-driven investigation into company compliance can end as either a comedy or as a tragedy. To ensure the former, in-house counsel should work collaboratively with outside counsel to plan, establish, and execute an effective response plan. In doing so, the company can guarantee a positive relationship with federal regulators and avoid meeting a tragic Shakespearean demise.
The role of in-house counsel in India is evolving rapidly, and the influence of legal over other departments is also growing. Indian corporate counsel must prepare themselves for compliance in multiple jurisdictions and be aware of the legal and ethical environs of the countries in which they are doing business.
Creating and implementing a compliance program can seem like a looming prospect for any small legal department. However, don’t get intimidated by the process. By following the “10 Hallmarks for a Successful Compliance Program,” in-house counsel can implement a system that effectively safeguards against compliance risk, without breaking the budget in the process.
Contract boilerplate - choice-of-law, forum selection, integration, severability and survival clauses - are standard and necessary provisions in employment agreements. These clauses are so common that they're often recycled from one agreement to the next - sometimes with just a few keyboard clicks. But beware: Dangers may be lurking in these commonly used provisions.
This is a sample master services agreement between a company and supplier.
The prevalence of anxiety, depression, and substance abuse within the legal profession is well known. South Carolina attorney Will Jordan personalizes the statistics by sharing his experience with anxiety and depression. Using a storytelling format, Will describes how he came to recognize his mental health struggles, how he tried (unsuccessfully) to cure them, and how, over the years, he has learned to cope with them. Will seeks to decrease the stigma around mental health issues in the legal profession and to provide encouragement and resources for lawyers suffering from anxiety, depression, or substance abuse.

In the companion cases Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. President and Fellows of Harvard College and Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. Univ. of North Carolina, the US Supreme Court recently held that race-based admissions practices in higher education are unconstitutional. Although the decision primarily deals with higher education, it also has potential implications for employers across all industries. Join us for a discussion on what those implications are, what we see for the future of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace and our recommendations for what employers should do to stay on top of this constantly shifting landscape.
