Lex Mundi Free Office Policy The “Free Office Policy” makes available, within reason, to all attorneys at member firms, offices, conference rooms, telephones, fax machines and secretarial support. Effectively, this policy gives each member attorney access to 560 offices worldwide. Lex Mundi Free Advice Policy

Any attorney at a Lex Mundi member firm should feel free to contacts other attorneys for free advice. The firm contacts or specific attorneys in practice areas covered by Lex Mundi practice groups may be contacted.

Free advice includes general discussions of the current status of law or other issues. “Free advice” should generally be less than 30 minutes. Attorneys requesting free advice should state so after introducing themselves.

The free advice policy is not applicable if research is required, documents reviewed, or any legal opinion is provided that the consulting attorney uses as attorney work product.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Free Advice Policy is a valuable benefit to member firms, providing the advantage of an immediate, prompt response regarding some aspect of the legal environment in a specific jurisdiction. In an effort to clarify “free advice” and to reduce inappropriate uses of the policy, this list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) has been drafted. It is the responsibility of the contacts person at each member firm to ensure that the policy and FAQ is available to each attorney. Any questions regarding the use of the policy should first be directed to the member firm’s contacts person before a request is made.

1. What requests are appropriate and what are inappropriate? Generally appropriate: a. basic information about a particular area of law, legal procedure, or practice of the jurisdiction of the Lex Mundi member that could be answered by one lawyer experienced in the area of practice, where the inquiry seeks broad guidance (for instance, the type of information that the requesting party could probably find in a general legal text book would be appropriate); b. a request that seeks identification of a key precedent on a topic or reference to a treatise; c. a request in which any underlying factual information is disclosed hypothetically or in very general terms, so as to avoid a disclosure that would identify the client (unless such disclosure is required for a conflicts check);

d. a request for information about a particular judge, lawyer or ADR specialist in the member firm’s jurisdiction; e. an inquiry seeking general information as to a single issue, based on a simple factual framework, which can be answered using the law firm’s basic skill and expertise, where the inquiry seeks broad guidance and neither an opinion nor a definitive judgment. (In such case, the parties involved may need to be identified so that conflicts can be checked.)

Generally inappropriate: a. a survey of the law in a particular jurisdiction; b. a multi-part question requiring input from a number of specialists;

- 6 -


c. a fact-specific inquiry in which the requesting lawyer seeks advice that will be incorporated into an opinion to the requesting lawyer’s client; d. a request where the lawyer providing the information must pass judgment; e. a request to which the answer would risk the disclosure of confidential information of a client of the firm to whom the request is directed; f. a request that requires the disclosure of confidential information; g. a request that warrants the drafting of documents.

2. Who should make the request? A request should only be made by lawyers - not legal assistants, secretaries, law clerks or administrative personnel – familiar with the use of the policy.

3. To whom and how should the request be made? The procedure for requesting free advice should be as quick and easy as possible, since many such requests are time-sensitive. In the past, the practice has been for requests to be made to one of a firm’s contacts persons listed in the Directory, who then would respond to the request or locate the appropriate person to respond. This practice remains acceptable.

As Lex Mundi technology improves, and to ease the burden on the contacts person, requests may be directed to an attorney listed on the Lex Mundi website as a contact for a particular area (to be implemented September 2003). Furthermore, if the practice group for a particular area has compiled a directory, the contacts listed for the specific jurisdiction may be asked. These can be found on the Profile page for the practice group (http://www.lexmundi.com/lexmundi/Practice_Groups_and_Committees.asp). Currently, the following practice groups have electronic directories: Intellectual Property, Real Estate and Trusts and Estates; directories to be added in the near future: Cross-border Transactions and Bankruptcy and International Insolvency. However, the firm contacts person should be copied on the request if made in written form. If a request is made via telephone, the attorney who received the request should inform the contacts person via a brief e-mail or telephone.

Each firm may specify the routing of requests. However, it is imperative that all staff involved in directing calls know to whom requests should be directed. If that person is out of the office for an extended period, then an alternate should be chosen.

4. Should the receiving firm check conflicts as to each request? The request should be a simple general question regarding laws or rules; therefore, a conflicts check generally should not be necessary. However, if the nature of the inquiry requires identification of clients and others involved, or if there is a likelihood that the firm receiving the request may have relationships with those involved (for example, the inquiry involves a major business operating in the country in which the firm receiving the request has its offices), the responding firm should be attuned to the possible need for a conflict check. If the requesting

- 7 -

http://www.lexmundi.com/lexmundi/Practice_Groups_and_Committees.asp


firm knows the Lex Mundi member has a client relationship that might be implicated in the matter giving rise to the request, the requesting firm should either refrain from making the request or disclose the connection at the outset.

Any lawyer making use of the free advice policy has an obligation to assure that the intended use of the policy conforms to any ethics rules or opinions of the jurisdiction of the requesting lawyer.

The requesting firm may not disclose, without the responding firm’s express written consent, either to its client or to any other third party, the source of the general legal information it has received. Since the information is provided gratuitously, the responding firm should not be held to account for the accuracy, timeliness or completeness of the information provided.

5. How should an “inappropriate” request be handled by the receiving firm? The recipient should indicate that he/she does not consider the question appropriate for response under the free advice policy and should give reasons, e.g. the information is not readily available and will require research, it will take several hours of work to respond, etc. If the recipient does not feel comfortable doing this, he/she should discuss the issue with the contacts person. The receiving attorney should alert the contacts person if he/she refuses a request.

6. How can members make better use of the policy? Contacts persons need to ensure that all attorneys are aware of the policy and understand how to use it. This may be accomplished by distributing the policy and this FAQ, along with an explanatory memo, from the contacts person.

7. Can a request for free advice be made via a listserv? The Free Advice policy and Lex Mundi’s list serves have different purposes. List serves are “discussions” or “commentaries” on topics of interest or of a general nature. The list serves are forums for ongoing discussion between members of a practice group on topics of general interest, rather than mechanisms for requesting an answer to a jurisdiction-specific question. Since list serves operate in a “broadcast” mode, i.e., entries are automatically broadcast by e-mail to all list subscribers, making a request for free advice in this manner would not be appropriate. (An appropriate example to the Real Estate listserv, which would not be appropriate as a Free Advice request: “Has anyone had a recent experience dealing with the Rule against Perpetuities?”) The list serves and the Free Advice Policy both are intended to provide ready access to the resources of our colleagues around the world, but in different ways.
