Storming the Gatekeepers: When Compliance Officers and In-House Lawyers Are at Risk 2023 | Practising Law Institute (PLI) | 27 July 2023 | Webinar

Overview
Why You Should Attend

Every corporate organization will inevitably fall under one or more legal or regulatory microscopes. It is the responsibility of certain individuals within those organizations to ensure that the images seen through those microscopes are accurate pictures of good governance, sufficient transparency, and appropriate corporate compliance. In striving to protect their companies’ financial and reputational well-being, these gatekeepers—as they are called—face their own risk of liability for wrongdoing, failing to prevent it, or missteps taken in response to misconduct.

Attendees of this popular course will be equipped with practical tools and valuable insight from experienced in-house and outside counsel, compliance officers, and government regulators. Attendees are encouraged to participate in real-world hypotheticals throughout the day, while learning to expertly navigate the complex roles and expectations of corporate gatekeepers.
