Businesses are increasingly being held accountable for their actions and a single misstep can lead to substantial reputational and financial damage. Knowing where to draw the line between risk and reward is paramount for the legal team.

In this interactive session, ask the hard questions and share your experience with peers about how to build your own framework for assessing risk and building integrity.

The ABA's Model Rules emphasize that lawyers have a professional responsibility to provide legal services to those unable to pay. But how do in-house lawyers, dealing with declining budgets, increased demands, and a constantly changing legal landscape, find the time? 

Our panelists will explain how to set up and manage successful in-house pro bono programs. In doing so, they will draw upon real-world case studies to underscore how pro bono work can not only uplift communities, but also enhance team morale, corporate reputation, and professional development.

As the GC, we are regularly called upon to provide legal guidance and to help navigate risk for the organization. But what about when it comes to doing the right thing?

Join the discussion with a panel of general counsel who will discuss issues of pay equity, social responsibility and human rights, implicit bias in the workplace, and more to hear how these leaders went above and beyond to take a stand.
