Jason Wright will be speaking on a panel at the IADC 2025 International Corporate Counsel College, held on 9–10 October in London. The program brings together in-house counsel and senior executives of corporations and corporate compliance officers, along with outside counsel, to explore the range of pressures faced by in-house lawyers, such as criminal risks and liabilities, unexpected events, a changed information environment, and political pressures.
Jason and his fellow panelists will be speaking on the theme “Caught in the Web: What Do You Do When Your Company Becomes the Focus of Online Media Attention.” They will consider strategies to respond to negative publicity and campaigns in social media, including in connection with litigation, and discuss the role of in-house counsel in such situations.
