Boca Raton, FL, December 08, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Insider trading investigations, Congressional inquiries, product malfunctions, environmental accidents and rogue employees causing corporate scandals can cause any general counsel sleepless nights. Celesq® AttorneysEd Center announced an important new CLE webcast designed to help general counsel prevent and prepare for such events as well as address the legal and regulatory impacts on a company when a crisis occurs.

Scheduled for December 8, 2010 at 12:00 noon ET, their speakers for the program, Legal Crisis Management: What Every General Counsel Should Know to Forestall a Crisis, or Address if it Occurs (2070), will be:
· Lanny J. Davis, Esq., former Special Counsel to President Clinton and the founder of Lanny J. Davis & Associates LLC, which counsels individuals, corporations and government contractors, and those under congressional scrutiny, on crisis management and legal issues;
· William F. Weld, Esq., former governor of Massachusetts and former U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts during the Reagan administration, and currently a partner in the law firm of McDermott Will & Emery LLP, where he focuses his practice in the areas of government strategies, corporate investigations and compliance and general business advice;

The program will address what every General Counsel must consider to prevent and prepare for such a crisis, from ensuring regulatory compliance programs are vigorous and employees properly trained in complying with relevant legal requirements, to tips on 'handling' the company's media and internal communications in a way that satisfies legal requirements while saving a corporation's reputation and business plan.
