2024 In-House Counsel Seminar

Ward and Smith is thrilled to announce the date of the 2024 In-House Counsel Seminar!

On Friday, November 22, from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at The Umstead Hotel and Spa in Cary, NC, our attorneys will share their expert insights and strategic moves with in-house counsel to develop a master game plan for their organizations. This year's CLE will ensure you are well-prepared for any hand you are dealt in today's legal environment. 

We are going all in this year and will offer sessions on artificial intelligence, recent government updates, labor and employment topics, including DEI, an in-house counsel panel, and many other valuable subjects for any in-house counsel attorney. "Seminar program highlights and learning objectives include:

  • Gain insight on regulatory updates with presentations on critical policy changes, including the Corporate Transparency Act, Chevron overturning, labor law updates, and government relations predictions based on election results. 
  • Understand AI in the legal industry by identifying the five pillars of AI ethics and practice, from compliance to damage control, to keep your organization competitive in a tech-driven future. 
  • Explore essential topics such as tax regulations, capital raising strategies, data security, and insurance policies to help in-house counsel navigate complex legal terrains.
  • Learn practical strategies from seasoned in-house counsel on overcoming legal challenges and fostering collaboration in evolving corporate environments.
  • Engage in a hands-on, role-playing scenario tackling real-world DEI conflicts, followed by group discussions on resolving complex legal and workplace dilemmas.

We have been approved for 4.5 hours of general CLE credit, with 1 of those hours satisfying the technology requirement through the North Carolina Bar Association.
