When Worlds Collide – The
Government Knocks on the
Corporate Door
Thursday, July 14, 9 a.m.-noon
2 general CLE credits and 1 ethics credit
Oregon State Bar Center, Tigard
When a company is presented with an internal investigation or a government inquiry, in-house and corporate counsel are called upon to swing into action. Using hypotheticals specifically designed to address the complex and special challenges you might face, learn how to perform an initial risk assessment (i.e., “How big is this?” “How big could it be?”) and build both your internal and external team. Ascertaining who is the client is a key beginning step, as well as understanding your duties to employees who may have an expectation that they are the client. In addition to answering these questions, our panel of experts will share a wealth of information including how to: handle the control of documents and other information; prevent a waiver of Fifth Amendment rights; determine if an internal investigation report is discoverable by the government or in a civil lawsuit; prepare your client as a witness; and handle incriminating information. With decades of trial, corporate and government expertise, the presenters will craft scenarios based upon problems they have encountered with past cases. This seminar is a unique opportunity to learn how to avoid these situations and excel in representing your corporate client.
