“A major conflict of interest.”
Jeff Gamso answers in no uncertain terms the question I posed in the title of my last post:
You cannot . . . turn on your client (your firm’s client is yours for purposes of the ethics rules). You can’t, that is, fuck your clients. That’s the job of the cops and prosecutors and the courts.
. . .There’s what you do in this business and what you don’t.What you don’t is betray your client (or your firm’s client).Ever.It’s the duty of loyalty, and it’s basic.Except to all those folks who don’t get it.
