First, though, I wish to comment on my role at our firm and on
some resources available to you. I am General Counsel, a role I
have filled since only April 1st. Before that, I practised
commercial law for forty years. So I likely have far less practical
experience than you have in your counsel roles. But my role,
perhaps more than yours, emphasizes ethics and, in particular,
conflicts. I hope therefore some of what I say may be useful to
you. It will in any event qualify for a portion of your ethics and
practice management cpd hours.
