Join CPBO to Learn About the Ethics of In-House Pro Bono
The 2017 ACC Annual Meeting may 
feel like a ways away, but it’s never too early to start deciding which sessions to check out! There will be a number of in-house pro bono-related events, including the session “Ethics of In-house Pro Bono” (Tuesday, October 12, 2:30 pm – 4:00 pm). The session will provide an overview of the ethical issues in-house attorneys face when representing clients in pro bono matters in the U.S. and around the globe, as well as address practical issues related to in-house pro bono. Topics will include administering a pro bono program, managing conflicts (both legal and business), and securing malpractice insurance. CPBO is excited to announce the following speakers will be presenting at the session:
- Andrea Bridgeman, Associate General Counsel, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac)**
- Jon Downes, General Counsel – Australasia, Willis Towers Watson**
- Katherine Giddings, Partner, Akerman LLP†
In addition, don’t forget to register for the Clinic in a Box® program (Monday, October 16, 8:30 am – 1:15 pm) to assist local nonprofits and earn CLE. Contact CPBO Project Assistant, Virginia Lyon.
