Victor Genecin, of counsel in the Squire Sanders New York office, and David A. Zagore, partner in the Cleveland office, will co-host the Counsel to Counsel forum “The Perfect Storm: Managing Investigations, Compliance and Audits in Today’s Tough Market” in New York City on Wednesday, May 20, 2009.
The forum will offer candid facilitated discussions about the issues facing the corporate legal community in today’s economic climate. In a workshop-type environment, corporate counsel will join together with law firm partners to share best practices and develop innovative solutions to managing corporate legal departments. The program will be co-chaired by senior corporate counsel.
Topics will include:
When concern over fraud and wrongdoing run high but resources don’t – realistically managing effective investigations and compliance programs
Understanding and addressing new regulations and enforcement options
Dealing with issues related to suppliers, distributors and other third parties
Determining the role of trusted advisers in regulatory relationships and investigations
Handling investigations – conducting interviews and managing privilege, disclosure and discovery
In addition, the event organizers have added a special lunch program, “A Closer Look at the Global Compliance Landscape: What In-House Counsel Need to Know.” It will be presented by Carol A. DiBattiste, senior vice president, privacy, security and compliance, LexisNexis, and will cover a number of related topics in this dynamic area of corporate law.
Counsel to Counsel forums bring together leading general counsel and law firm partners for off-the-record, highly interactive discussions on topics that address the key challenges corporate counsel face.
You may receive up to 4.5 CLE credits for attending.
