'Ethics for Corporate Lawyers' offered as webcast

The Practising Law Institute (PLI) will present "Ethics for Corporate Lawyers 2020" as a live webcast on Tuesday, December 15, beginning at 2 p.m.

At this interactive program, based on a series of video scenarios dramatizing important ethics issues in corporate practice, program participants "vote" electronically on the correct ethical responses, followed by faculty review, discussion, and explanation.

Attendees will learn:

- Representing multi-entity enterprises, some of which are not wholly owned

- Assignments that should be turned down

- New developments in confidentiality, attorney-client privilege, and conflicts of interest

- Litigation funding issues

- Collecting information and use of private investigators

- Misrepresentation, fraudulent nondisclosure and omissions

- Threatening and disciplinary action and the duty to report ethics violations

- Ethical issues that arise from working remotely

This program is intended for all lawyers in corporate practice as well as allied professionals who need to understand the ethical rules under which lawyers operate.

Course materials will be available to attendees prior to the start of the program. Cost for the webcast is $395. To register or for additional information, visit www.pli.edu and click on "programs."
