Interesting point about hiring manager (at new firm) providing new employee with attorney access to advise them on how to resign and conduct themselves post-resignation.
As the article then goes on to state, albeit buried, there is massive client/attorney privilege issues here - the client is the new employer and I'd be concerned about what got fed back to the client from the employee's discussions.
If you need one, get your own lawyer.
- joshu 16y agoThis is important. You shouldn't trust a lawyer someone ELSE is paying.
- arethuza 16y agoHaving very nearly been bankrupted by lawyers acting for the company I had co-founded I can't agree with that comment enough. It's not really a trust thing, it's just the fact that unless you are their client lawyers basically don't have any duty to look out for you, but they certainly do have a duty to act in the best interests of their client. Your interests and those of your previous/future employer probably don't completely align.
