The only way is ethics - what GCs and IHLs need to know

Join us for our next in-house lawyers forum in Oxford as we explore how General Counsel and in-house lawyers can balance their professional duties with organisational pressures, drawing on lessons from the Post Office case, Freeths' recent Corporate Conscience Index and recent guidance.

Key topics will include:

• Lessons learned from the Post Office case, where Freeths acted for the 555 postmasters in the successful High Court proceedings that paved the way for all that has happened since.
• Insights from the SRA guidance for in-house lawyers on ethical duties and obligations.
• Key takeaways from the Institute of Directors' report, “The Post Office Scandal: A Failure of Governance,” to help directors achieve better governance.
• Findings from our recent report that examines how businesses today are approaching ethical decision-making, where business conscience meets commercial reality and where the gaps remain.
• Practical strategies to manage competing duties and ensure robust ethical practices
