Legality & Making Rights

To what extent should lawyers take into account public policy and the public interest when giving otherwise lawful and ethical advice? Whether it relates to drafting non-disclosure agreements in the context of sexual harassment claims (e.g, the Harvey Weinstein case), being asked to prepare legal tax avoidance structures, or advising clients opening a business in a country where child labor is legal, the tensions between public policy and the law may leave lawyers feeling as if they are walking a tightrope. Legal regulators, legal ethicists and practitioners will engage attendees in a robust discussion of these issues and provide insights into how to keep from falling.
