Heineman offered his insights on the role that general counsels play in corporate affairs, emphasizing how they can help ensure that the firm is managed to achieve both high performance and high integrity.

The discussion drew on two recent articles Heineman has published based on his experiences as general counsel of one of the world’s largest companies. The first, Avoiding Integrity Land Mines, was published in the Harvard Business Review last spring and is available here. The second piece, Caught in the Middle, was recently published in Corporate Counsel and can be downloaded here.
