Question:
As a new partner at your law firm, you are eager to bring in clients and to demonstrate your skills as a “rainmaker.” One day you get a call from Bob Brown, a friend of your family who is the chief executive officer of Omniware, a manufacturer of non-stick cooking utensils. Brown says that his firm is being investigated by the Consumer Product Safety Commission on suspicion that it used a toxic chemical on its cooking surfaces. Brown says, “I can assure you that this was a problem with our Chinese supplier; we had nothing to do with it.” He asks if you would be interested in conducting the company’s investigation of what happened. He is delighted when you express interest in the job. “Great!,” he says. “Just one more thing: For reasons of confidentiality, the results of your investigation are to be shared only with me personally; no one else needs to know about it.” Should you accept the assignment? If so, on what terms?
