Whether they are working for a corporation, the government or an outside law firm, attorneys are responsible for upholding certain ethical standards. When it comes to those working in-house, that duty extends to ensuring the rest of the company acts ethically and lends a hand in upholding the compliance function’s broader efforts.

The Ethisphere Institute, a think tank dedicated to research on business ethics and corporate responsibility, has a few in mind.
