The golden rule is: “Do the right thing!” If you have a feeling that something is wrong just stop and think about it.
Is it legal in all jurisdictions in question?
Is it in compliance with this Code, other Firm guidelines, and rules of professional conduct?
Does it feel right?
What would an honest person do?
What impact can it have on the reputation of Firm?
How would it look like in the newspapers?
Would you feel bad if others knew that you took part in it?
Could you sleep well at night afterward?
Feel free to discuss it with the Firm Ethics and Compliance Officer who is always prepared to help you. Bring the case before the Managing Partner if you feel that it is important.
Or just say no. No one in Firm is entitled to order you to carry out actions that would be illegal or unethical. Firm will never punish anybody for raising the question of legality and ethics. We all want to do the right thing.
