  Few meetings are as important for your client than the proffer session with the government. Knowing what the government wants, how to prepare your client, and how to avoid pitfalls is a skill every federal practitioner needs. In today's complex, interwoven world, proffers are a necessary skill set for both criminal and civil practitioners.
  
  In this CLE, the FFA brings together an experienced group of attorneys, both from the U.S. Attorney's Office Criminal and Civil divisions, along with experienced criminal defense counsel and civil practitioners to help educate you on the proffer process. Designed not only for criminal practitioners but also for corporate counsel, those who handle compliance issues, civil litigation, and criminal investigations, this CLE will help you understand an often hidden aspect of civil and criminal cases

  A panel of criminal and civil practitioners will discuss best practices and ethical considerations for using investigators in criminal and civil litigation. The panel will discuss, among other things, the specific ethics rules and opinions that apply to the use of investigators, best practices for using investigators effectively and ethically, and pitfalls to avoid when using an investigator to help your case. A current private investigator (and former government investigator) will also share how these rules and best practices play out on the ground from the perspective of the investigator. This panel will offer critical information—and real life stories—to help you maximize your use of investigators in a fair and ethical way.
