Archived Webinar: Conflicts of Interest: Professional Duties and Best Practices for In-House Counsel
A lawyer’s duty to avoid conflicts of interest is an important aspect of the duty of loyalty that lawyers owe to their clients. For Canadian in-house counsel, the duty to avoid conflicts of interest presents special challenges due to the nature of the relationship of in-house counsel to their employer. This webinar will enable in-house counsel to effectively navigate the conflict rules in the Canadian legal system, and provide participants with the knowledge to successfully implement best practices to avoid conflicts of interest.
This webinar will provide participants with an introduction to key cases including the recent Supreme Court of Canada case of Canadian Railway Co. v McKercher LLP, 2013 SCC 39, and provincial law society rules on conflicts of interest. It will also address when representation might attract a bright line rule, and when a contextual test will be applied; the circumstances in which a lawyer might be disqualified from representation of a client; and why a waiver might be insufficient. It will provide an opportunity to learn about the unique duties of in-house counsel in relation to conflicts of interest. Finally, it will provide discussion on some best practices for creating effective policies and procedures to avoid the creation of circumstances in which a conflict of interest would arise.
Key Learning Objectives:
- Learn about the provincial Law Society rules on conflicts of interest in Canada;
- Learn the key Canadian cases on conflict of interests, the rules that have emerged from the jurisprudence, and the policy concerns of the Canadian courts in relation to a lawyer’s duty to avoid conflicts;
- Understand and reflect on your professional duties to your employer, and to your professional regulator, in circumstances in which a conflict of interest may arise; and
- Learn about best practices and policies to avoid conflicts of interest.
