The application of legal ethics rules to the business practice can be complex and bewildering even to experts. This mp3 downloadable audio program is designed to assist good business lawyers who have little time or inclination to study the ethics rules to spot issues and seek help where appropriate.
Key areas include:- Conflicts of Interest: What should business lawyers consider when taking on new clients, particularly involving entities and multiple parties?
- Confidentiality: How do the ethics rules on confidentiality relate to the attorney-client privilege and the work product doctrine? What can the business lawyer disclose about her practice to others?
- Communication with Represented Parties: When can a business lawyer communicate with officers or employees of other parties in a transaction?
- Negotiation Ethics: How far can a business lawyer go in extolling his client's business or the value of an important asset?
- Supervision: To what extent is a partner responsible for the activities of associates? When can an associate follow questionable orders of a partner?
- Information Technology: May a lawyer search the other party's document for metadata? The hazards of e-mail.
- Client Fraud: The business client appears to be up to something fishy. Does that have any consequences for the lawyer?
- Unauthorized Practice of Law: Business lawyers spend a lot of time on airplanes going to places where they are not admitted to practice. Are they flirting with disciplinary violations, or even criminal prosecution?
- We've made a mistake: Are discussions within the law firm about suspected lawyer miscues protected by the attorney-client privilege? When must such matters be reported to clients?
