During this event, the Association of Corporate Counsel North Florida Chapter will also hold a brief annual meeting. The chapter will elect 2018-19 officers and directors and will cover other general chapter business.
The North Florida ACC and McGuireWoods invite you and your colleagues to attend Tom Spahn’s annual ethics program. This two-hour interactive presentation uses hypotheticals to explore lawyers’ confidentiality and disclosure duties in the context of clients’ past or ongoing misconduct.
Topics
- Possible duty to disclose clients’ past fraud on tribunals, or past misconduct in noncorporate and corporate settings
- Distinguishing between past and ongoing client misconduct (including fugitive clients)
- Client crimes’ fruits and instrumentalities
- Lawyers’ silence that causes anguish to victims’ families, or allows a wrongly convicted person to remain incarcerated
