Annual Meeting 2006: In the event of a corporate failure, particularly one involving a failure of legal compliance, in-house lawyers may find themselves increasingly in the cross hairs. Expansive changes in attorney conduct regulation, fiduciary liabilities for gatekeeper failures, dawn file-raids, subpoenas for lawyers as witnesses, certifications without adequate sub-certifications, and even unsuccessful reporting-up-turned-retaliatory discharge all suggest that the potential for personal liability, fiduciary breaches, obstruction charges, and sanctions for in-house lawyers are on the rise. As general counsel, you owe it to yourself and your legal staff to understand trends, best practices, and helpful policies for safeguarding your law department and your lawyers’ exposure before a corporate failure, or even 20/20 hindsight, puts you in the cross hairs.

We've all seen movies where a smoking gun document surfaces late in a crisis. While this can be entertaining when it is someone else's problem, most of us would prefer to avoid this scenario with our own companies. The best way to avoid smoking guns is to implement sound document retention policies. Topics to be covered include education and document retention challenges, proper maintenance of files, teaching law to non-lawyers and making the law relevant, encouraging non-lawyers to use proper document creation processes, and much more.

Despite limited budgets and unique organizational challenges, smaller companies face many of the same drivers with respect to implementing effective ethics and compliance programs as do large public companies. At the same time, smaller companies face additional challenges because the in-house counsel must wear multiple hats including lawyer, business advisor, price analyst, proposal developer, contract administrator, facility security officer-just to name a few. This program will offer a workplan and specific solutions for in-house counsel who must implement an effective ethics and compliance program with limited financial and staff resources, including a look at some of the conflicts when counsel also wears a business hat.

Since the 1990s, there has been a substantial increase in the number of class action lawsuits filed in federal and state courts. Often these suits are developed in collaboration with plaintiffs' counsel from multiple jurisdictions, and after testing on mock juries. Many of these suits are coordinated with requests for government action against the company and launched with a media blitz. How can you prepare for such an assault, and how should you respond once a complaint is filed? Your legal peers who have survived this new class-action game will identify the plaintiffs' tactics and offer suggestions for early responses as well as long-term strategies in defending class actions. Plus you'll learn strategies on how to reduce risk from such actions and coordinate the activities of your legal department and public relations.
