How to Ethically and Legally Represent a Business Organization in Crisis: Client Confidences, Reporting Up the Ladder or Out to Third Parties (REPLAY)

The ethical and legal issues confronting an attorney who represents a business organization in crisis are among the most complicated in all of legal ethics. Unpack the primary considerations for both in-house and outside counsel when they try to navigate the turbulent waters of a business organization confronting crisis. At the core of the attorney’s responsibilities is to keep client confidences and maintain the attorney-client privilege, but simultaneously comply with mandatory or discretionary disclosure regimes of Texas and ABA ethical rules, Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and federal securities laws.

Managing Generational Differences (REPLAY)

The mentorship of young attorneys is an ethical obligation of the supervising attorneys and is critical for the retention of good attorneys. Communication, clarity, and leadership/culture sharing are all critical to bridging the generational divide. This is true for law firms that represent school districts, law firms that represent the employees of school districts, and general/in-house counsel for school districts.
