Learn how to determine if a lawyer-client relationship exists and if that relationship triggers legal and ethical obligations.
"Who is your client?" The answer is seldom simple and is even more complex when representing an organizational client. An organization is a legal entity that acts solely through its officers, directors, employees, shareholders, and other constituents. The answer is crucial, however, to determine whether a lawyer-client relationship exists. And the creation of that relationship triggers legal and ethical obligations that the lawyer owes to the client on such critical matters as confidentiality and conflicts of interest. This course will provide answers to this difficult question and will help you avoid the pitfalls associated with giving business and legal advice to an organizational client.
