The Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC) is the world's largest organization serving the professional and business interests of attorneys who practice in the legal departments of corporations, associations, nonprofits and other private-sector organizations around the globe.
Gun violence is on the rise across the U.S., and while no one wants to imagine a deadly weapons event happening to them, the reality is that the past two years have been the deadliest years for gun violence on record with more than 1,300 mass shootings recorded. After years of growing tensions, exacerbated by the pandemic, organizations must prepare themselves to deal with the unpredictability of human nature as continued civil unrest and polarized political views continue to escalate across the U.S. This webinar will cover how to get proactive and put programs in place to prevent a workplace violence event.

We all deal with conflict in our personal and professional lives. As in house counsel, we are expected to provide guidance and assistance with conflict resolution across our organizations. During this presentation, trial attorney Caitlin Jones will discuss conflict avoidance and the litigation stemming from Rule 1.13 and the client-lawyer relationship. She will provide you with practical tips for maintaining your duty of loyalty when conflict arises among your team, between parent and subsidiary, or within your Board and C-Suite. She will discuss how the attorney should act when the employee acting for the business proposes to act contrary to the best interests of the organization. She will also provide insight into dealing with organizational conflict and avoiding both malpractice and ethical liability stemming from conflicts of interest. She will conclude with some best practices to help you deal with intra-company conflicts.
