Click here to find out moreJoin Barry Engel as he discusses a range of topics pertaining to ethical considerations in the asset protection planning context. Topics include the sometimes not-so-simple question of who is actually the client (including when to represent the individual client, when to represent husband and wife, and when to represent the integrated estate planning trust); the potential for conflicts of interest between current clients and former clients; the origin and evolution of the attorney-client privilege, and why your files are not as private as you think they are; the ethical duty of confidentiality; and the purpose and scope of the work product doctrine in the litigation setting (including its elements, exceptions and potential waiver). There is also an in-depth discussion as to how the integrated estate planner should act and react when served with a subpoena, and suggestions as to how to minimize the cost and expense the attorney would otherwise have to bear in the course of responding thereto.
