Overview
When you represent an entity, do you also represent its constituents? What about when the entity you represent is a limited liability corporation, closely-held corporation, or an educational institution? Understanding the answer to these questions is critical for understanding the scope of the attorney-client privilege and for identifying potential conflicts of interest. This course will use several different court opinions and hypotheticals to explore these issues.
