Partner Michael J. Leotta moderated a panel titled "Ethics –Cooperation and Competition Between Counsel for Individuals and Counsel for Companies".
This panel will consider practical and strategic issues that arise when attorneys for a company are involved in government investigations in which individual company employees are represented by counsel, including a discussion of the factors that corporate counsel consider if and when recommending attorneys to company employees, tips regarding what each side should and should not expect from the relationship, and challenges that can arise, including the extent to which the two sides can have common-interest-privileged communications.
