McGuireWoods invites you and your colleagues to attend Tom Spahn's annual ethics program. This two-hour interactive program uses hypotheticals to explore lawyers' confidentiality and disclosure duties in the context of clients' intent to commit future misconduct.

Topics

• Distinguishing between past and future misconduct
• Clients' intent to offer false testimony
• Advising on client conduct illegal under federal law but allowed under state law
• Attorney-client privilege "crime-fraud exception"
• Clients' intent to commit future misconduct that will cause financial injury, bodily harm or death
