In recent years, in-house counsel simultaneously have assumed greater responsibility for corporate risk management even as law enforcement agencies have focused increasingly on holding in-house counsel responsible for corporate risk management failures. This one-hour briefing explores the challenges faced by in-house legal departments in managing these new responsibilities and risks. The topics include:
- New theories of in-house counsel liability
- Special risks to in-house counsel in managing internal investigations
- Lessons learned from DOJ criminal prosecutions of in-house counsel (Computer Associates, GlaxoSmithKline, others)
- Special problems in robust risk management including the need for strong compliance programs, as well as training and advising the board on risk issues
- The crisis management minefield
