This program will examine the ethical issues confronting in-house law departments in the second decade of the 21st century. While reducing outside legal spending remains a top priority, there is now increased pressure to become more productive. With total legal spending remaining flat or slightly decreasing, more is required with less. This pressure for increased productivity can lead to failure to meet ethical and legal requirements in managing litigation, preserving documents, hiring and retaining the best legal expertise, and retaining the best outside law firms. In this exciting new program, our expert faculty of in-house counsel, related professionals, and outside counsel will share their best tips and practices for dealing with these critical issues.
