In-House and in Compliance: Key Ethics Issues for In-House Lawyers

Does this internal company document contain legal advice protected by the attorney-client privilege or merely business advice that is not protected? If the document is privileged, what do I need to do to protect that privilege from being waived? If I represent both my company and one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, do the ethics rules regarding conflicts of interest still apply? This course answers these important questions among others to help in-house counsel stay in compliance with the legal ethics rules.
