Agenda

12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. 

What Tougher Enforcement of White Collar Crimes Could Mean for Your Company

The best way to avoid becoming the target of a government investigation is to understand the government’s enforcement priorities and the types of business practices that the government considers illegal. Businesses can then assess whether their compliance programs effectively address the government’s new priorities and revise them as needed to minimize the risk that they will become a target. This program will also focus on what in-house counsel should do if their company does become the focus of a government investigation.

The Legal Privilege: The Indispensable ESG Tool

You are part of your organization’s ESG practices and procedures. What should you know about the legal privileges and how you can use them to protect your organization’s ESG efforts? This presentation will:

• Provide an overview of the current ESG environment for mandatory and voluntary ESG assessments, measurements and related disclosures.
• Introduce the idea that the ESG process for assessment and disclosure of an organization’s performance on ESG goals and measurement can trigger legal liabilities.
• Discuss the use of the legal privilege to protect these processes from involuntary disclosure to third parties including party litigants and government enforcement.
• Provide a primer on how to put the privileges in place
