The Jacksonville Chapter of the Federal Bar Association is hosting “The First Question: Who is Your Client?” presented by ethics lawyer Tom Spahn at 8:30 a.m. Sept. 21 at the Bryan Simpson U.S. Courthouse.
Spahn will present an interactive ethics course using hypotheticals to explore topics of interest to litigators and transactional lawyers whose clients might face litigation.
A news release from the chapter said the program addresses a basic question preceding any conflicts (and many other ethics and privilege) analyses: Who is your client?
After discussing client identity when representing the government, partnerships, associations, insureds, estates and bond deal participants, the program focuses on client identity in the corporate context.
Among other aspects, the program addresses client identity within the corporate entity, within a corporate family, during corporate stock and asset sale transactions and when dealing with corporate employees.
