Dentons lawyers covering allyship and confidentiality in litigation in the next fall session.

Webinar recording:

12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. Allyship CLE

Inclusion and diversity should be central to the success of any organization. Law firms are no exception. The concept of “Allyship,” which encourages us to recognize and overcome our own biases and to challenge and overcome biases and offer opportunities to others, is reflected in the Model Rules of Professional Conduct. This program will focus on those rules and engender discussion on how we, as attorneys, should use the rules to raise awareness, encourage participation, and create opportunities for the legal profession as we deal with others.

Speakers

• Ronald Hedges, Senior Counsel, New York
• Karen Jordan, Partner, St. Louis
• Mukul Kelkar, Senior Managing Associate, Houston
• Susan Mitchell, Partner and Deputy General Counsel, Los Angeles

1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. Protecting Confidentiality in Litigation

Recent headlines have highlighted the clashing interests in the confidentiality of information contained in documents submitted to courts and the public right of access to those documents. This presentation will provide an overview of those competing interests and will suggest internal procedures that can assist in identifying, securing, and designating the documents.

• Michele Gossmeyer, Global Director, Information Governance, Risk and Compliance, Chicago
• Ronald Hedges, Senior Counsel, New York
