Clients: To Whom Do They Belong? Image

Clients: To Whom Do They Belong?

Wayne N. Outten & Douglas C. James

The answer is: nobody. <br>When a partner leaves a law firm, the parties have to allocate various partnership rights, assets and other interests. They may allocate most of these interests in any way that they choose. They may not, however, allocate clients - perhaps the most valuable of partnership "assets." The client alone decides whether to remain a client of the firm, to leave with the departing partner or to choose another attorney. Law firms and departing partners have an ethical obligation to handle these situations in a way that is consistent with the principle of client choice.

Don't Let An Ex-Employee Sabotage Your Case

Peter J. McHugh & Susan P. Mahon

With the instability in the corporate world today, employees ' both managerial and not ' are changing jobs or being laid off routinely. The employee who spends his entire career with one company is clearly now the exception, not the rule. Gone too is the concept of "loyalty up ' loyalty down." Corporations today can no longer afford to show their appreciation to long-term employees, as was the case a generation ago. In return, corporate employees do not reciprocate the same loyalty as they did in years past. This article discusses some strategies for dealing with the possibility of a hostile former employee sabotaging your otherwise valid claim or defense.

A recent ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit ' in a long-running dispute between Cleveland International Records and Sony Music Entertainment ' illustrated how these issues may be argued and decided.
