Electronic Era Ethics

This interactive program uses hypotheticals to highlight the dramatic effect email, texts and other electronic communications have had on lawyers’ ethics duties. The program generally follows the lifespan of an attorney-client relationship, including: creation of the relationship (such as the effect of an unsolicited email from a would-be client); the ethical propriety of electronic communications with clients (especially lawyers who practice “virtually”); communications with adversaries (including “reply all” emails, lawyers’ response to inadvertently transmitted communications, and metadata); dealing with third parties (such as service providers and outsourced colleagues); discovery (such as accessing adverse witnesses’ social media); jurors’ research and communications; judges’ research and “friending” of lawyers; attorney-client relationships’ termination.

For in-house lawyers, learning how to leverage law firm connections can accelerate your career in interesting and useful ways. Join Stephen Mar (Chief Legal & Administrative Officer, Odeko) and Bree Thompson (Counsel, Hearst) as they share insights and anecdotes from their in-house careers and from their recent ACC Docket article, "Law Firm Alchemy: Turning Professional Contacts into Career Gold." Topics will include:

1) how to stay up to date on important topics for in-house counsel;

2) how to network effectively using law firm relationships

3) how to work with law firms to enhance your reputation and brand; and

4) how to work with law firms when you're ready to explore your next role.

The Webcast will be discussion style. Stephen and Bree will be sharing their experiences with Suzanne Peters (Senior Counsel, Hearst), who currently works with Bree and previously worked with Stephen at WeWork. Audience participation is encouraged!
