Conflict of Interest
Do You Have...
Do you, your company, your family, your employer put you at risk for conflict of interest in your practice? Consider the following:
- Do your political and/or religious views put you in a place of being unable to act for the client in their best interest?
- Do you have a financial gain in the work you do outside of the normal fee arrangement approved by the courts?
- Do you employ family members that create a financial interest in your decision-making ability for the client?
- Do the vendors you use, ie.realtors, bankers, AFH, provide you gifts or other “kick backs” in order to use their services?
- Do you own entities that your client’s funds support other then your court ordered activity?
- Do you have a vested interest in any organization or person which might assist your client in any way:
