california business lawyerA California Business Lawyer is sworn to support the Constitution and laws of the United States and of the state where he is licensed, and to maintain the respect due to the courts of justice and judicial officers. A California business lawyer must maintain inviolate the confidence, and at every peril to himself/herself to preserve the secrets of his or her client.

He must counsel or maintain those actions, proceedings, or defenses only as appear to him or her legal or just, except the defense of a person charged with a public offense.

He must employ, for the purpose of maintaining the causes confided to him or her those means only as are consistent with truth, and never to seek to mislead the judge or any judicial officer by an artifice or false statement of fact or law.

An attorney may, but is not required to, reveal confidential information relating to the representation of a client to the extent that the lawyer reasonably believes the disclosure is necessary to prevent a criminal act that the California business lawyer reasonably believes is likely to result in death of, or substantial bodily harm to, an individual.
