DEALING WITH SCANDALS: A CONVERSATION WITH CRISIS MANAGEMENT EXPERT JUDY SMITH
Judy Smith is known for helping CEOs, politicians and celebrities navigate crisis.
She’s the lawyer who inspired the hit TV series Scandal (and the fictional character Olivia Pope), and knows – better than most – that public opinion can make or break a client’s reputation.
In her interactive session, Smith will talk about the lessons she has learned throughout her inspiring career in crisis management.
If you’ve ever wanted to know how the real-life Olivia Pope would handle a crisis, this is your chance to find out. Smith will be answering questions from the audience, so come prepared!
LITIGATING IN THE COURT OF PUBLIC OPINION WITH DON BAYNE
No one knows high-profile cases better than defence lawyer Don Bayne, who most recently successfully defended Senator Mike Duffy against 31 criminal charges.
Bayne will be speaking about his firsthand experiences dealing with the media in prominent cases, and what lawyers need to know when litigating in the court of public opinion.
Both Sunday sessions will be moderated by Jennifer Ditchburn, editor-in-chief of Policy Options.
