Partner Rob Evans (New York-Capital Markets) is the
author and editor of the inaugural column in "Ethics
Corner," a new feature in the American Bar Association's
Business Law Today. The series will "present topics
that occasionally confront lawyers, principally business lawyers,
involving the ethics rules."
In the column, Evans presents a hypothetical in which a banker
client informs his lawyer that he is going to meet with the
executives of a company to discuss going public. The client asks
the lawyer to participate in the meeting. Evans discusses the
ethical questions raised by this scenario, including whether it is
appropriate for the lawyer to participate, given the "no
contact" rule, and, if so, what steps he would need to take in
advance.
