Plan Sponsors (employers and boards of trustees)
can have multiple roles in connection with the employee benefit
plans they have established. Employee benefits attorneys often
face many vexing ethical issues that may arise from conflicts
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 how multiple representation is possible, how to determine
who the client is and what role the client has when advice
is sought, whether the advice requested or given in particular
situations is privileged, and the impact of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act on employee benefit lawyers.
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
