Description

There has been an increasing tendency in recent years for partners of law firms to be asked to be general counsel of clients, at least on a temporary basis, but also as more permanent posts, such as chief compliance officer or intellectual property (IP) counsel. In the session, we explore the ethical tensions that these two roles may create, and consider possible solutions.
