| As we look forward to an exciting 2025, at last year’s Winter Leadership Conference in December, we co-hosted a timely panel with the Ethics and Professional Compensation Committee. Panelists Soneet Kapila (KapilaMukamal), Ginny Tate (FAI International) and Alicia Bendana (Lugenbuhl, Wheaton, Peck, Rankin & Hubbard), along with Moderator B. Summer Chandler (LSU Paul M. Hebert Law Center), presented “Attorney Ethics in the Spotlight: What Can We Learn from Ethical Issues Raised in Recent High-Profile Cases?” Our highly qualified panelists provided an overview of recent
high-profile cases, including those of FTX, Kenneth Chesebro, Rudy Giuliani and Judge David R. Jones, and discussed the ethical issues raised, including the limits of advocacy, responsibility of the profession, duty of candor and truthfulness, prohibition on assisting in criminal activity, and the duty to report professional misconduct.
