Ref. #JCEBT021021GWA
Plan Sponsors (employers and boards of trustees)
usually play multiple roles in connection with the employee
benefit plans they have established. Attorneys who practice
in this area often face many vexing ethical issues that may
arise when dealing with plan-related issues. This session
will focus on key ethical rules and principles that should
be considered by ERISA practitioners, including a discussion
of such questions as whether multiple representation is possible,
how to determine who the client is and what hat the client
is wearing when advice is sought, and whether the advice requested
or given in particular situations will be privileged.
Topics Include:
- Attorney Client Privilege and its Exceptions
- Conflicts of Interest and Waivers
- Entity Representation
|
- Multiple Representation
- Confidentiality and its Exceptions
- Sarbanes-Oxley—The Future Is Almost Now
