Reference Reference information: Internal investigations are fraught with peril for corporate counsel who, whether in-house or outside, must take a key role in a situation embedded with conflict. In an internal investigation an attorney is asked to act on behalf of the corporation, which may have differing interests than the directors, officers and employees through whom the corporation functions. To make matters worse, these same directors, officers and employees may be individuals who retained counsel. One of the most important steps in reducing the risk of a conflict is the so-called Upjohn warning, when corporate counsel is faced with the often uncomfortable task of advising individuals that counsel represents only the corporation and not the individual. Care taken in providing such a warning can avoid hazards for the corporation, the individuals, and counsel. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2017-06-09 02:33:34 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Also known as a corporate Miranda warning. The notice an attorney (in-house or outside counsel) provides a company employee to inform her that the attorney represents only the company and not the employee individually. An attorney cautions company employees with an Upjohn warning when the company is involved in litigation or conducting an internal investigation. Providing an employee with an Upjohn warning should make it clear that: The attorney-client privilege over communications between the attorney and the employee belongs solely to, and is controlled by, the company. The company may choose to waive the privilege and disclose what the employee informs the attorney to a government agency or any other third party. |
