For the past two decades Lankler Siffert & Wohl LLP has organized and chaired this annual event with the New York City Bar Association.  The format of Ethical Considerations for Corporate Investigations: Views from All Sides brings together white-collar defense lawyers, prosecutors and ethics experts to discuss cutting-edge strategic and ethical issues arising in investigations and prosecutions of corporations and/or their constituents.  

On September 25, 2024, LSW partner Jillian B. Berman chaired a lively panel discussion covering issues including:

• A lawyer’s duties to a prospective client
• The ethics of witness preparation
• Ethical considerations for attorney whistleblowers
• A lawyer’s obligations when a client provides false or incomplete testimony
• Confidentiality and ethical implications when an attorney wishes to post to a listserv, social media or law firm website.

 

This year’s distinguished faculty of practitioners, prosecutors and academicians were

• Richard F. Albert – Morvillo Abramowitz Grand Iason & Anello PC
• Prof. Bruce Green – Fordham University School of Law
• Daniel M. Gitner – Chief, Criminal Division, USAO SDNY
