with Lucinda Soon 13 May 2025

This video is a preview of our full webinar. Log in or register to access the link to the full-length version.

This webinar explores current debates concerning lawyers’ ethicality and professionalism, with a particular focus on in-house practice.

In this webinar, we:

  • Explore how ethical lapses can occur more easily and less intentionally than we might imagine, owing to a range of psychological phenomena and social pressures.
  • Examine how organisational structures and informal workplace cultures may counteract well-intentioned formal systems and lead to lawyers finding themselves in ethical difficulty.
  • Identify the strategies we can employ to avoid the risk of falling prey to ethical blind spots and ensure we remain ethically astute.
