What risks exist when executives' relationships with in-house counsel are strained?  How are these risks affected if in-house counsel is terminated?  Can in-house counsel initiate litigation against a current or former employer?  Would pursuit of such claims violate the in-house lawyer's fiduciary obligations to the employer or the sanctity of the attorney-client privilege?

Dorsey Partner Roy A. Ginsburg addresses these questions, and more, in his article "Lawsuits by In-House Counsel Against Their Employers," for The Bureau of National Affairs' "Corporate Counsel Weekly."
