In this Dorsey seminar, Dorsey Ethics partner William Wernz and Dorsey fiduciary-duty litigation veteran Chip Magid discuss the law, ethical rules, traps and best practices for counsel to closely-held entities. They describe how under a number of recurring circumstances courts have held that counsel to the entity may also owe fiduciary duties to the owners and be liable to a minority owner for breaching those duties or aiding and abetting their breach. The issues of when counsel to a closely-held entity needs to be concerned, and what counsel can ethically do to reduce this risk will be considered.
