Professor Lance Tibbles, Director of the Ethics Institute at Capital Law School, addressed a joint meeting of the Ohio Society of Healthcare Risk Managers (OSHRM) and The Society of Ohio Healthcare Attorneys (SOHA) on September 27, 2007.

Professor Tibbles’ topic was “The Organization As A Client Under the New Ohio Rules of Professional Conduct.” The Ohio Rules of Professional Conduct, which regulates the professional conduct of lawyers, was promulgated by the Supreme Court of the State of Ohio and became effective on February 1, 2007. The “Ohio Rules” are a combination of the “ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct” and existing Ohio law under both common law and the old “Ohio Code of Professional Conduct,” which was superseded by the new “Ohio Rules.”

According to Professor Tibbles, a 2003 amendment to the ABA Model Rules would permit an organization’s lawyer to reveal confidential information outside the organization if the organization has clearly engaged in a violation of law and the organization’s lawyer reasonably believes that the violation is reasonably certain to result in substantial injury to the organization. However, this ABA provision was not included in the new Ohio Rules. But of keen interest to attorneys representing business organizations, a separate provision in the new Ohio Rules requires a lawyer to disclose any material fact when the disclosure is necessary to avoid assisting an illegal or fraudulent act by the lawyer’s client. This provision compelling disclosure of confidential information may be more important for lawyers representing organizations than the omitted ABA provision that permits, but does not require, disclosure of confidential information.
