Legal Ethics Double Play: Key Issues for In-House Lawyers and Avoiding Corporate Conflicts of Interest

In this installment of our Double Play series, our two, thirty-minute programs cover key Issues for in-house lawyers and avoiding corporate conflicts of interest. Does this internal company document contain legal advice protected by the attorney-client privilege or merely business advice that is not protected? If the document is privileged, what do I need to do to protect that privilege from being waived? As an in-house lawyer at a company with subsidiaries, how well do you know the legal ethics rules that apply to conflict of interests that can arise between entities within the corporate family? When can you safely share privileged information with officers, directors and employees of those subsidiaries and when might disclosure waive the attorney-client privilege? This program answers these important questions among others to help in-house counsel stay in compliance with the legal ethics rules.
