摘要
Corporate law and its practice have unique features that impact upon the lawyer to client relationship and more generally, the legal profession. Further, public-listed company clients' wealth and power enable them to exert influence upon their legal advisers. Transactional corporate lawyers may find their legal advice to these clients raises professional issues due to the nature of corporate law. In addition, clients often have conflicts of interest that could affect their instructions. These matters are examined as they may create ethical issues for corporate lawyers causing them to look to legal ethics for guidance. Yet perversely, lawyers' professional legal ethics cannot always resolve ethical matters. These dilemmas may be a regular occurrence for transactional corporate lawyers. How are they, as professionals, meant to address them?
