Scott Morvillo and Ellen Murphy Co-Chair PLI’s “Internal Investigations 2024” New York Seminar

Seyfarth Shaw Partners Scott Morvillo and Ellen Murphy were pleased to co-chair Practising Law Institute’s “Internal Investigations 2024” seminar on June 27th. Ms. Murphy moderated the concluding internal investigations panel, and Scott Morvillo moderated the regulators' roundtable.

PLI assembled expert faculty to review the fundamentals of conducting an effective and efficient investigation using a real-world hypothetical with animated video to bring the story to life. Attendees left the program with a better understanding of how to handle investigations successfully for their clients or companies. From commencement to conclusion, lawyers face numerous issues when conducting an internal investigation. Allegations by a whistleblower, ethical dilemmas, and managing the costs of an investigation are just some of the challenges that may arise. Companies and their counsel must anticipate potential risks and quickly resolve all issues before, during, and after the investigation.
