From effectively safeguarding the company's interests while providing legal counsel, to offering business advice without compromising legal integrity, navigating these dual responsibilities often involves complex ethical considerations. Our expert panelists will share thought-provoking insights into how to maintain this balance, manage potential conflicts of interest, and ensure that both legal and business objectives align ethically.
