When enforcement actions arise, how companies respond can significantly impact outcomes. This session shifts to the defense perspective, exploring how in-house legal teams are navigating compliance, assessing risk and making critical strategic decisions in real time. Panelists will discuss managing multi-agency actions, entering into common interest and joint defense agreements, and weighing cooperation and self-disclosure. In addition, the session will address individual accountability, balancing legal risk with business considerations and the use of policy discussions to help defend against legal matters. Attendees will gain practical insight into how to successfully approach these high-stakes moments, coordinate with internal and external stakeholders and respond in a way that protects both legal and reputational interests.
