The laws regarding the duty of confidentiality and the attorney-client privilege can pose challenging ethical questions. Attorneys with clients who do business internationally need to understand the nuances of cross-border ethics. This American Law Institute Continuing Legal Education Program will provide a real-world look at the key issues you need to consider before sharing confidential information with lawyers in other countries.
A distinguished faculty, including chair of Squire Patton Boggs' Ethics Committee Kenneth C. Moore and compliance partner Andrew Pike, will consider:
What jurisdiction’s ethics laws govern your treatment of confidential matters when you are traveling internationally?
Do the lawyers from other nations with whom you are dealing have the same duties?
How do you preserve the attorney-client privilege when you or your client is in a jurisdiction that may not recognize this privilege?
Explore issues raised in the international business context, and get insights on how to meet your ethical obligations both here and abroad.
The full brochure and further details for the event and available CLE credit are available online.
