Join us on Wednesday, June 24th for a Virtual CLE presentation by Beth W. Petronio of K&L Gates LLP covering essential legal ethics topics for senior level in-house counsel and legal departments. The session will begin with a comprehensive ethics update addressing core professional responsibility obligations, including identifying the client in organizational settings, protecting attorney-client privilege — with particular attention to the critical distinction between business advice and legal advice — understanding work product protections, navigating required disclosure obligations, and fulfilling duties to non-clients such as truthfulness and communications with represented and unrepresented persons. The presentation will also touch on the rapidly evolving intersection of legal ethics and artificial intelligence, examining how the Model Rules of Professional Conduct — including duties of competency, communication, confidentiality, and supervision — apply to attorneys’ use of AI tools, the significant privilege and confidentiality risks of inputting client data into public AI platforms, accuracy concerns including AI “hallucinations,” and practical guidance for developing responsible AI-use policies within legal departments.
