Corp Miranda Warning

The following is strong stuff. But the attorney doing an internal investigation may have to give a warning like this. A Miranda style warning can keep the attorney and the company out of some complications. But it may impede the flow of information.

The company is my client. You are not my client. You do not have an attorney-client privilege with me.

I am doing an investigation for the company. I may tell the company anything you tell me.

You do not have to tell me anything you want only your own private attorney to know. But if you refuse to cooperate fully with me in this investigation, I may tell the company that you refused or that you did not want to tell me some things.

The company can tell other people, or the government, anything the company knows.

In our seminars we have some suggestions about this. What do to. How to do it. How to stay out of trouble.
