Are you aware of the risks that both you and your client run when you or a Partner become either a board member or officer of a Corporate client? Is the CEO, who you're obviously on good terms with, aware that you might have to disclose to a court or third parties the details of your conversations? Has it ever occurred to you the risks you run when you answer a personal legal question for the CEO or any other officer of the Corporation you represent? Just how much responsibility and exposure do you and your law firm have for the actions and representations of Corporate clients? When do you have a fiduciary duty to third parties and minority shareholders? These issues, and additional problems faced by lawyers who represent either large public, or small closely held, Corporations, are reviewed in this course. You'll be glad you spent an hour reminding yourself of the potential problems you and your law firm face every day.
