Ethical and Practical Considerations for Attorneys and Business Leaders: This panel examines the ethical, legal, and business considerations faced by lawyers and business leaders in a crisis management environment. Topics covered include engaging and working with crisis management professionals and private investigators, and the ethical rules that apply; trial publicity and Model Rule of Professional Conduct 3.6; risk management versus risk elimination; and balancing competing considerations when responding to a public relations crisis.

The last year brought a number of high-profile litigations and decisions involving superstars like Ed Sheeran, Post Malone, Dua Lipa, Childish Gambino and Eminem, to name a few. In this panel, we will discuss recent developments, including in the fields of copyright infringement, rights of publicity, licensing, and contracts, and ramifications for the music industry going forward.
