You finally made it. No longer the lawyer, now the client. As head of regulatory affairs, you ask lawyers for advice (even though you know how to find the answers and often do). Life is less complicated, not having to worry about those pesky ethical rules. But are you really free of them? No one quite knows, although one can envision sanctions being imposed on a person who maintains her law degree in conduct that would clearly be violative of ethical norms. And the sanctions could adversely impact the client as well.
