This panel touches on a variety of ethics issues including those arising from limited representation of a client, from service as a personal representative under unified partnership audit procedures, and from a data breach.

Topics include:

• The ethical rules pertaining to limited representations of clients in tax matters, including in connection with the Tax Court’s recently released limited representation rules.
• The ethical considerations when contemplating serving as a partnership representative or designated individual under the BBA audit regime, particularly with respect to navigating conflicts of interest between the partners and the partnership.
• How to address data breaches and loss of client information and the requirements under the ABA model rules and other rules for timely addressing these issues.
