ACC Events Blog- Ethics is Today's Topic
Today, February 19th Susan Hackett, the Senior Vice President and General Counsel for the Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC), is conducting a half-day Ethics Training course for members of Marriott’s legal department. While Susan guides attendees through an interactive session designed for the professional, ethical and compliance related challenges facing in-house counsel, live reports will be posted on the ACC’s Event Blog. The program will be complimented by an interactive DVD, which ACC developed specifically for in-house counsel, with their needs and interests in mind. The scenarios are intended to engage participants in a discussion about “what happens next” and to help gauge responses to difficult, real-life situations, such as:
- investigating employee wrongdoing and tactics that push ethical limits for lawyers;
- how to detect and respond to financial decisions that may push the envelope when you are the non-business person on the enterprise risk management team; and
- determining when the government should be notified if an internal investigation is at its behest (“Corporate Internal Investigations”)
The vignettes presented will serve as a great platform for discussing legal ethics and the minefields that corporate counsel encounter in their day-to-day practices.
