The landmark decision of the House of Lords on conflicts of interest in Bolkiah v KPMG, closely followed by the very different conflict considered in the Pinochet case have sparked off massive interest and a series of judicial decisions in this area of the law. In consequence, professionals are under increasing pressure to examine their strategies for dealing with conflicts of interest and managing client confidentiality. Each professional sector is examined in detail and advice is offered on strategies for assessing and managing conflict situations. The authors offer answers to questions such as: * What is a conflict and when does it arise? * What are the consequences of acting despite a conflict? * How do Chinese Walls operate and when are they permissible? * What are the remedies for a client when his adviser acts for the other side?
