ABA - National Institute on White Collar Crime

The American Bar Association 2009 White Collar Crime National Institute will be meeting for the twenty-third consecutive year. Over 1,300 practitioners attended last year’s annual gathering of the national white collar bar. As in the past, we continue to have outstanding panelists who deal with the most timely issues. Each year the Institute brings together judges, federal, state and local prosecutors, law enforcement officials, defense attorneys, corporate in-house counsel, and members of the academic community.

The attendees include experienced litigators, as well as attorneys new to the white collar area. Attendees have consistently given the Institute high ratings for the exceptional quality of the Institute’s publication, its valuable updates on new developments and strategies, as well as the rare opportunity it provides to meet colleagues in this field, renew acquaintances and exchange ideas. The faculty includes some of the leading white collar lawyers in the United States. 2009’s keynote panels will continue to focus on the role of ethics and corporate compliance in today’s business environment. Once again, we expect excellent representation from the corporate sector.
