  Ethics for Business LawyersFriday September 17, 2010 Business lawyers confront many competing and sometimes conflicting demands on their professional advice – all of which can give rise to difficult ethical challenges. Increased regulatory scrutiny of businesses and the growing prevalence of internal investigations have served to increase pressure on business lawyers, too. This program will review the sources of ethical rules for business lawyers and the substantial ethical issues that arise in business law practice. The program will also discuss practical techniques for resolving ethical tensions when the organization’s legal interests may substantially diverge from their officers’ and ethically sound practices in the conduct of internal investigations. Handout materials will be emailed to you prior to the seminar  60.00 Starts 12:00 PM Central Time 1.0 MCLE Credit Hours Schedule: • Determining the identity of your client and to whom you report • Practical tensions between organizational interests and officers’ interests • Reporting wrong-doing to boards of directors and to outside authorities • Ethics in the conduct of internal corporate investigations • Ethical obligations imposed by regulatory authorities, including the IRS and SEC Speakers: John Miller, Robinson Bradshaw & Hinson P.A, Charlotte Peter C.
