Elements of an Effective Compliance Program

Compliance programs are having to evolve beyond checklists and procedures to address the sometimes vague or conflicting regulations and interpretations. An effective compliance program must consider the “black letter” rules but must also address the spirit and intent of those rules. To be effective, a company’s enforcement and compliance program must be proactive and readily capable of adjusting to a changing regulatory landscape. Gain insight on effective compliance programs from both an operational and trading perspective.

Ouch! The Ethical Thicket of Social Media for Oil and Gas Lawyers

When more than half of all in-house counsel report using social media for news and information, when 83-year old Rupert Murdoch uses Twitter, when lawyers tweet and law firms and judges maintain blogs, there can be no doubt that social media permeates society. No lawyer can afford to ignore it. However, social media usage raises a host of ethical issues, including judges “friending” lawyers (and vice-versa), investigating witnesses and jurors, improper “advertising," unlawful practice and unauthorized multi-state practice, the First Amendment rights of lawyers, and screening of employees and law firm and company policies for employees’ use of social-media. All of these issues are addressed with a unique blend of humor and scholarship, as one of the most unusual multi-media presentations you’ll ever see.
