When Congress Calls: Navigating Legal and Reputational Risks in Investigations of Your Company

Congressional investigations are unique legal proceedings with significant risks for companies and executives. Investigations include both familiar legal processes, such as document productions, and procedures that can surprise even experienced corporate counsel, such as preparing a CEO for live, widely broadcast testimony before Congress on very short notice. 

The upcoming midterm elections are likely to spur a wave of new investigations, and many companies are getting ready now.  In this panel discussion, two leaders of Covington & Burling’s nationally ranked congressional investigations practice, and a crisis communications specialist steeped in congressional investigations from nationally ranked Trident GMG, will discuss congressional investigations and the strategies for navigating them successfully. 

Designed for senior in-house counsel and legal executives, this program will deliver practical insights and actionable legal, communications, and political strategies for advising corporate leaders.
