Product Description
Product Description
Both in-house and outside counsel face unique ethical issues when advising their corporate clients on the myriad legal issues corporations encounter daily. This new webcast highlights common issues counsel are called upon to address and related ethical considerations. The panelists use hypothetical legal scenarios to illustrate steps counsel should take to avoid such things as an inadvertent waiver of the attorney-client privilege, the unauthorized practice of law, and improperly discharging counsel’s duty of competence—among other things.
