1.1 Identifying your Client: Ethical Dilemmas when Advising Corporate Employers and Foreign Workers

Presented by the CBA National Citizenship & Immigration Law Section

Our expert panel will examine critical issues which arise when representing corporate employers, foreign workers and often accompanying family members, all in need of legal advice. Through the analysis of factual scenarios and moderated Q & A, our panellists will highlight these ethical and professional issues (which cross the boundaries of immigration law into other practice areas) and suggest approaches and solutions to ensure both appropriate conduct and representation in the best interests of your client.
