Legal problems for your clients are bad enough without
criminal law issues to complicate them. And yet criminal exposure often overlaps
with other areas of the law, whether it is an ongoing government investigation,
a pending criminal trial at the same time as your litigation, or allegations
made against your client by an opposing party threatening to report them. Some
problems are obvious, but you may not know what to do about them. If opposing
counsel tries to compel the deposition of your client while he has a pending
criminal case on the same subjects, what can you do? Others you may not even be
aware of. Our panel of experienced attorneys who have dedicated their careers to
criminal defense will discuss various criminal issues that overlap practice
areas, what to watch out for, and solutions.
Lunch and registration will begin at 12:00 p.m.
The program will begin at 12:15 p.m.
