A Deep Dive Into the Complexities of Representing Multiple Defendants in Corporate Investigations

Foley partner Jennifer Z. Belveal will moderate a panel discussion at the ABA 33rd-Annual National Institute on White Collar Crime Institute, to be held in New Orleans on March 6-8, 2019. The March 7 panel session, entitled “A Deep Dive Into the Complexities of Representing Multiple Defendants in Corporate Investigations,” will consider the practical advantages and disadvantages of using pool counsel in internal investigations, including such factors as the impact of joint representation, whether the various clients’ interests are sufficiently aligned, the types of agreements entered with the company, the logistics of the engagement (disclosure and waiver of conflicts, protection of privileges when fees are paid by the company), consequences of one client being charged or cooperating, and managing client information to avoid potential cross-contamination.
