Tort and Insurance 2021: Can I Get a Witness?

Employees of Represented Organizations, RPC 4.2, and Practical Realities
Description:

Every Tennessee lawyer knows there is an ethical restriction on communicating with someone represented by counsel. When the parties to a case are individuals, resolving questions about whether they are represented by counsel and whether the communication would relate to the matter in which they are being represented are straightforward. When one or more parties to a matter are organizational entities, however, questions can be (or at least can seem to be) less clear. This program will explore the interrelationship between RPC 1.13 governing representation of organizational entities and RPC 4.2 on communication with represented persons.

The guidance with regard to Rules 4.2 and 4.4 were very helpful.

I learned additional avenues to explore when interviewing witnesses that work for a company that is a party as well as ethical issues with the same.

Very informative and good refresher on communicating with clients and nonclients.

I learned when a defense lawyers does and does not represent employees of a corporate defendant.
