Ethical Considerations of an Attorney Serving on a Nonprofit Board

 

Wanting to help is appreciated, keeping ethical responsibilities in mind is an absolute.

One of the greatest attributes of attorneys is their willingness to give back to a community; whether through an ethical obligation or a personal self-drive to make communities better, attorneys seem willing to serve on non-profit boards. However, while the attorney may be willing to give back, there are ethical and practical considerations that the attorney must also consider. This white paper reviews the lawyer’s duties to the profession, as well as inadvertently creating an attorney/client relationship, remembering what ethical obligations they have to the corporate entity, as well as what duties they have by the mere fact they are an attorney.
