Representation of Multiple Generations in Family Business Succession Planning sponsored by Oswald
SPECIAL CE LUNCHEON -
CREDIT FOR OHIO ATTORNEYS AND INSURANCE PROFESSIONALS WILL BE AVAILABLE!
About the program…
A lawyer undertaking advising a family and its business on financial, operational and organizational succession issues faces a myriad of conflicts and risks. Clients, accountants and financial services providers should be aware of the limitations on a lawyer’s representation of a family business, its owners and employees. Mr. Dickinson will discuss the ethical and legal issues arising in the representation of members of a family that owns or controls an operating business entity. He will focus on issues such as:
- Who does the attorney represent and to whom does he owe a duty?
- How does the attorney deal with confidential information?
- Who pays the bills and how are the services billed?
- What if the lawyer suspects that certain family members have diminished capacity?
- Is the representation on a continuing basis or a single engagement?
- Can conflicts of interest be waived?
