We recently published the 'Who is your client? guide', which was developed following feedback from the profession and includes new guidelines to help in-house solicitors.
This seminar will address the day-to-day ethical issues in-house counsel face, and provide a practical approach to spotting, avoiding and dealing with them as you go.
Presented by Russell Eadie, from our Professional Practice team, this event will focus on:
- knowing your client
- conflict of interest
- legal privilege and confidentiality
- balancing business and professional obligations
Russell will be presenting on and discussing real life scenarios that have been raised with Professional Practice and audience participation will be required.
