Effective Regulatory Response - On Demand

Seven Steps to Effective Regulatory Response 

Sponsored by Zapproved
Although the material does not specifically mention CLEs, one of the presenters is senior counsel at Dentons, which is California pre-approved MCLE provider no. 2773

Learn the seven steps to effective regulatory response and be prepared to respond quickly to ensure compliance.

Regulatory agencies such as the SEC and CFTC can initiate an investigation into business activity at any time, bringing challenges beyond those of typical ediscovery. Regulatory investigations often relate to unclear charges, make broad and sweeping data requests under unrealistically tight timelines, and bear severe consequences for noncompliance. Organizations need to be prepared to identify, preserve, and analyze relevant information rapidly and accurately.

In this webinar, Zapproved will discuss seven clear, actionable steps to launch a successful regulatory response. These steps start with strategizing and preserving data before moving into assessing information, negotiating the terms of the request, creating privilege logs, and keeping the lines of communication open.

Any organization subject to regulatory oversight could be investigated at any time. Prepare today so you can face tomorrow with confidence

Ethical Issues in Pro Bono Representation - On Demand

Ethical Issues in Pro Bono Representation 2018 

Sponsored by Practising Law Institute

While the ethical obligations of pro bono legal practice are no different than a commercial law practice, there are practical considerations regarding eligibility of clients, challenging clients, conflicts (similar in theory, different in practice settings), expectations on both sides, case management responsibility, and different delivery models, such as limited scope representation, that cause many professionals to hesitate to offer pro bono legal services. This program is designed to answer questions regarding the ethical obligations of pro bono legal service, encourage attorneys to engage in this professionally rewarding aspect of law practice, and remove ambiguities that are barriers to engaging in pro bono legal services.
