Ethics for In-House Counsel: Navigating the Ethical Responsibilities of In-House Counsel to the Organization’s President, Board of Directors, and Employees

In-house lawyers have distinct ethical responsibilities to the president, the board of directors, and in-house employees, necessitating a careful balance to uphold the integrity of their role.

Join us on Monday, September 9 at 12pm ET / 9am PT for the next edition of our IHC Ethics for In-House Counsel Series as Lisa Lang, Vice President and General Counsel for Ohio Northern University and author of Why This, Not That, will discuss the ethical responsibilities of the in-house lawyer to the president, the board of directors, and in-house employees. What are those ethical responsibilities and how do they play out in a real world setting?

Discussion topics include:

• The duties of confidentiality, loyalty, competence, conflicts of interest, and how they intersect;
• In-House Counsel’s responsibilities to the Board of directors, including candor, independence, and corporate governance;
• In-House Counsel’s duty to corporate employees, including legal advice, confidentiality, and reporting obligations.
• General In-House ethical responsibilities… and more!
