Plan Sponsors (employers and boards of trustees) can have multiple roles in connection with the employee benefit plans they have established. Employee benefits attorneys often face many vexing ethical issues that may arise from conflicting loyalties when dealing with plan-related issues. This session will focus on key ethical rules and principles that should be considered by ERISA practitioners, including a discussion of such questions as how multiple representation is possible, how to determine who the client is and what role the client has when advice is sought, whether the advice requested or given in particular situations is privileged, and the impact of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act on employee benefit lawyers.
Topics include:
- Attorney Client Privilege and its Exceptions
- Conflicts of Interest and Waivers
- Entity Representation
- Multiple Representation
- Confidentiality and its Exceptions
- Sarbanes-Oxley -- The Future is Almost Now
