About This Course

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 conflicts of interest 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.
