Barrett leaves din of Manhattan for Wisconsin nice

Jerry Huffman
Special to the Wisconsin Law Journal
Will J. Barrett would be a great attorney to have on
your team. If you can find him.
LAW JOURNAL: Will, we had a hard time finding you
online. In fact, we couldnt find anything.
BARRETT: Thats good. I like a low digital profile.
LAW JOURNAL: What about Twitter?
BARRETT: Nope. (Chuckling)
LAW JOURNAL: Facebook?
BARRETT: Nope. (More chuckling)
LAW JOURNAL: Instagram? Pinterest?

Being relatively inconspicuous suits Barrett just

fine. The transplanted New York University law school
graduate see little need to join the crush of people who
live and die by their web identities.
How can an online personality reflect who you
really are? said Barrett. I want to know you, not
your brand.
Just out of law school, Barrett took a corporatecounsel position in New York at David Yurman, an
luxury-jewelry company on the East Coast. Yet, even
then, Barrett had already begun to feel the pull of a
different kind of life - one that was more about quality
than quantity. He began thinking about leaving the 24/7
din of the city for the Midwest.
In New York, if someone sends an email marked
SUMMER 2016
- C O R P O R AT E C O U N S E L -
ASAP, it really means do it right

now or start looking for a new job,
Barrett said. Out here, I know
that if i take care of it fairly quickly,
everything will be just fine, without
the threat of additional drama.
Early in the year, the 30-yearold Barrett and his fiancee, Julia
Edwards - a modern-dance
professor and Pilates instructor - left
the bright lights behind for what
must feel like the vast expanses of
Oconomowoc. His first impressions,
although eye opening, have
generally been good.
Wisconsin people are nicer, said
Barrett. In New York there is a more
of an agitated pace to everything.
One source of culture shock has
SUMMER 2016
been the near silence that Barrett

has found surrounding him in his new
home in a Wisconsin small town.
Barrett recalls waking up one
morning to a perfectly quiet house.
For a moment, Barrett said, I
wondered if I had died.
As a law student, Barrett knew that
the life of a litigator would hold little
interest for him and that he instead
wanted to be a change agent in
the business world.
Transactional lawyers are
typecast as the one who always says
no to an idea, Barrett said. I want
to be just the opposite. The one
who helps the team take an idea
and shapes into a positive for the
business.
Barrett has found a good spot

working for Orbis, a subsidiary of
the Menasha Corporation. Our
specialty is creating reusable
plastic products for everything from
the automotive to the food and
beverage industries.
Striving to break the mold of a
corporate lawyer could be how
Barrett finds his purpose. Rather
than conform to the stereotype
of the suit sitting in his office all
day, Barrett seeks to be one of
the first, instead of the last, in any
conversation.
I want to be a resource to the
Orbis team, he said.The one who
solves problems and breaks down
the status quo.
Balancing business,

Experts weigh in on the fine line
corporate counsel walk every day
Erika Strebel
erika.strebel@wislawjournal.com
Corporate counsel dont
often end up as the subject of
disciplinary cases before the
Wisconsin Supreme Court, but
that doesnt mean they cant go
astray just as easily as other sorts
of lawyers.
Generally speaking, the states
statutesgoverningattorney conduct
are tailored to lawyers who have
more than one client rather than
those working for a single company.
Even so, there is onerulethat
appliessolely to corporate counsel.
Corporate counsel thus find
themselves having to worry about
one standard of conduct that other
lawyers can safely ignore. That gives
rise to its own set problems, says
Richard Cayo, a Milwaukee attorney
who specializes in defending lawyers
in misconduct cases.
Its a situation thats ripe with
danger, he said. And its danger
that most dont see.
Dean Dietrich, a Wausau lawyer
who often represents attorneys in
disciplinary cases, says that when
he does see a corporate counsel
get in trouble, its often because
of a misunderstanding over
attorney-client privilege.That
privilege almost alwaysapplies to
6
communications directly involving

the companys legal affairs
but not necessarily to every
statement made by an executive
officer or employee.
Disclosures of unscrupulous
activities, for instance, might not
be protected - even if they were
made under the assumption that
corporate counselwouldnt let
them leave the room.
That is a problem that in-house
lawyers need to be very sensitive
to, Dietrich said. And they also
need to take clear steps to identify
or indicate when they are giving
legal advice as compared to what
would be business advice or
operational advice.
Cayo said hes well aware of the
dilemma.
Ive had many cases involving
in-house counsel, and most all
of them have to do with people
claiming that their confidences
have been betrayed by their lawyer
when the lawyer says, Hey, you
told me something I had to rat you
out for.
Dietrich says there are two steps
corporate counselcan take to
avoid situations of this sort. First,
theyshould make it a point to
clearly differentiate legal advice
from business advice.
This can be done as easily by
saying something like: I am

going to give you advice as a
lawyer, or Our discussion is
going to be protected by the
attorney-client privilege.
The same clarity is needed in
emails.
Theyre really best off breaking
it into separate emails because if
they pledge or state that this is
legal advice but then obviously its
not, you can lose the protection of
the legal advice, Dietrich said.
Cayo says that email might be
the easiest way for corporate
counsel to make it clear to
employees and company officers
thatattorney-client privilege
applies in certain situations butnot
in others. Thats not to say, though,
that forthrightness does not come
with a cost.
Lawyers who are always quick to
put up a warning flag riskmaking
employees feel uneasy. The
biggest loss could be of the ability
to have candid conversations.
For lawyers anxiousto walkthe
straight and narrow path,
thesecond step to take is to make
it clear that the in-house counsel
is the companys lawyer, not the
employees or officers. Cayo said
he has found from experience
that it can be hard to dispel the
misconception that corporate
SUMMER 2016
Its a situation thats ripe with danger.

And its danger that most dont see.
R I C H A R D C AY O ,
Milwaukee attorney who specializes in defending
lawyers in misconduct cases
counsel is there to provide private

legal advice to all comers.
The problem is everyone
becomes accustomed to thinking
the in-house lawyer is their
lawyer, he said.
But a close look at the rules
governing lawyer conduct shows
thats far from the case. State
statutes stipulate not only thatinhouse counsel are bound to work
exclusively for one client - their
employer. They also make it

clear that if theres anything that
company employees or officers
have done that could harm the
company, the attorney has a duty
to report it.
Its an extremely uncomfortable
situation to be in, said Cayo.
Further complicating matters,
private lawyers brought in
bycorporations for certain jobs
are often under a different set of
obligations. If the vice president

of a company were found to be
hatching a scheme involving a
fraudulent stock offering, for
instance,the corporate counsel
would have to report the nefarious
plans to higher ups.
A private lawyer would not.
Its sort of a fine line thats not
easy to identify, said Cayo.

New opportunities
for registered
in-house counsel
Rule change to let lawyers licensed in other
statesperform more pro bono work
Doug Hagerman,
general counsel
for Rockwell
Automation
Athene Lucas,
former president
of the Association
of Corporate
Counsels
Wisconsin
chapter and
corporate counsel
for Fiserv Inc.
A rule change recently approved

by the Wisconsin Supreme Court
will soon meanthat corporate
counsel who practicein Wisconsin
even though they are not
licensed in-state will be on an
equal footing with their licensed
counterparts when it comes to
providing pro bono legal services.
Wisconsin has roughly 350
lawyers registered as in-house
counsel, according to the Board
of Bar Examiners, the agency
charged with overseeing both
admissions to the State Bar and
continuing legal education.Even
though these lawyers have been
admitted to other states bars,
their lack of a Wisconsin license
means they are subject to certain
restrictions here.
They are, for one, essentially
prohibited from practicing law for
clients other than their employers
and may not represent clients
in court unless they obtainpro
hac vice status. They are also
prevented fromperforming
pro bono work unlessits for
qualified clients of a legal-service
program.
Those limits will go away come
Jan. 1. Because of a rule change
the Supreme Court approved in
April,registered in-house lawyers
will start the new New Year
withno more barriers to doing
pro bono work than their licensed
colleagues now must contend
with.
For Mark Cameli, a lawyer
who runs Reinhart Boerner Van
Duerens pro bono committee, the
new leeway will lead toa far more
efficient delivery of pro bono
services. Perhaps most notably,
it will get rid of hurdles that now
sometimes make it hard for these
sorts of lawyers to team up with
their employers for pro bono
work.
Its an effective way to leverage
resources, Camelisaid. And its
been my experience that outside
counsel enjoy working with their
in-house counsel clients. This
should be a nice way for them to
do things together.
Doug Hagerman, general
counsel at Rockwell Automation,
SUMMER 2016
Also coming in 2017

Along with the new rule broadening the type of work
registered in-house lawyerscan perform, the Wisconsin
Supreme Court approved a separate change that will let
licensed attorneys get continuing-legal-education credit
for providing pro bono legal services.
Starting Jan. 1, 2017, attorneys licensed in Wisconsin can
said the change will bring certain

legal services within the reach
of those who are in the greatest
need. Oftentimes, the clients
who wouldbenefit most from
representation in civil cases are
the very same ones who can least
afford it.
People have a need for legal
services in this state, Hagerman
said. It seemed like a shame not
to allow these really experienced,
competent lawyers to help meet
that need.
Cameli and Hagerman were
among a group of attorneys
that came out earlier this year in
support of the Supreme Courts
adoption of the new rule. Among
other things, the rule changewill
delete the current prohibition
that preventsin-house registered
lawyers from providing pro bono
legal services to anyone other
than qualified clients of a legalservice program.
That last part of the rule made
little sense to Athene Lucas and
others at the Wisconsin Chapter
of the Association of Corporate
Counsel, which originally
approached the State Bar of
Wisconsin with the rule-change
proposal.
The Association of Corporate
SUMMER 2016
earn one credit for every five hours of pro bono work they
perform. The biggest limit here is that they can receive no
more than six credits in every two-year reporting period.
Also, lawyers who are seeking readmission, reinstatement
or reactivation are barred fromobtaining continuing-legaleducation credit for providing pro bono services.
Counsel - also known as the ACC

- began looking into the matter in
2012, when Lucas was president
of the organizations Wisconsin
Chapter. Around the same time,
the ACCs national arm was
instructing its chapters to examine
discrepancies between the state
rules governing in-house attorneys
and those for theirregistered
counterparts.
Not only did they find that the
language not clear. They also
discovered that the basic reasons
for why the rule was the way it was
were shrouded in obscurity.
In doing our research, no one
could pinpoint when this caveat to
this rule came about, Lucas said.
As far as we know, its been there
for a while. Theres no legislative
history. Its kind of like a black hole.
No one could figure out where it
came from and why.
The proposal did meet
withopposition, including some
from the Board of Bar Examiners.
One argument invoked against the
change made much of possible
risks forclients.
Because registered in-house
lawyers are withoutWisconsin
licenses,no one in Wisconsin could
be certain what standards these
lawyers had to meet when they
were licensed to practice elsewhere

- or at least so the line of reasoning
went. Opponents of the rule change
argued that registered in-house
lawyers pro bono work should
continue to be limited lest clients be
unnecessarily exposed to harm.
But he justices apparently saw
things a different way, much to the
delight of Lucas and others.
Our point was, theyre still
lawyers held to the standard of
their home state, Lucas said.
Its not fair to say the registered
lawyers are not held to any
standard because we all are as
lawyers.
One of the proposals biggest
supporters from the start was
Hagerman. He saw the recent
rule change as being particularly
important because employers like
his tend both to move attorneys
from state to state and to have
attorneys on staff who, because
of the current rule, often find it
difficultto practice lawpro bono.
Its a great win-win, Hagerman
said. Its a win for people
that need the help and a great
professional activity for the lawyers
who can do it. Theres a huge
unmet need and all these great
lawyers who are able to help meet
that need.
ROOM FOR
IMPROVEMENT
Even with gains for women and minorities,
Lochmann thinks more can be done
Jerry Huffman
Special to the Wisconsin Law Journal
There are benchmarks in a lawyers life that
will always be remembered. Your first day in
law school. Your first day in court. Your first
deal closing.
Jessie Lochmann will never forget her first
week as a lawyer. Having risen to become
a partner in Foley & Lardners transactionalpractice group and co-chair of the firms
Manufacturing Industry team, Lochmanns
time at Foley goes back to the same week in
2001 when terrorists attacked New York and
Washington.
I remember watching the towers come
down on a small TV near my new office,
Lochmann said. I remember the tears, the
shared experience. And I think of those
people on every anniversary.
The new Harvard Law School graduates
perspective started to change that day
as she remembered lessons imparted by
one of her professors, the current Sen.
Elizabeth Warren. Being successful, Warren
adamantly taught her students, didnt
necessarily mean you had to fit into a
particular mold as a lawyer or in life.
At first, I thought she was almost mean
in her style of questioning our views,
Lochmann said. But now I understand how
lucky I was she was challenging me to be the
best thinker I could.
That lesson drove Lochmann to help
other new lawyers, particularly women and
minorities just embarking on legal practice.
10
According to Lochmann, there are still

cultural habits engrained in some firms that
hold back women and minorities.
Younger, white males have a tendency
to assume it is their right to ask for
opportunities, while women and minority
associates are much less likely to speak up,
she said. As partners, its our job to make
sure all associates are exposed to the same
opportunities early in their career.
When I started at Foley, Jay Rothman
(Current Chairman and CEO of the firm)
was more than a mentor to me. He opened
doors, he introduced me to people, he told
clients they could trust me and it changed
my career path.
People are human, Lochmann said,
often they are more comfortable dealing
with people who look like them. Our
responsibility is to break down the barriers for
the next generation.
Lochmann feels its important for all firms
- large and small - to be aware of social
realities and make sure new associates can
receive help, just as she did when she came
to Foley.
Mentoring is terrific, but we need to do
more, Lochmann said. Invest in your new
lawyers by taking them to meetings. Help
them get on the right boards to serve their
communities. It will make us better lawyers
and better citizens.
One of her bigger concerns is still the
role of women in many firms. We are
losing too many women attorneys because
they dont see a chance of success on their

career tracks, said Lochmann. She

says firms must be aware of that
perception and work diligently to
counter it.
In 2014, Lochmann was honored
by the Wisconsin Law Journal as
Woman of the Year.
Lochmann was praised for using
her position to help other women
SUMMER 2016
and singled out for reminding her

own clients about the value of
putting women on their boards and
in their executive suites.
Jessie Lochman has traveled
a long road from her hometown
of Hubertus to Harvard, and her
fifteen years at Foley & Lardner
have brought their own significant
changes.
Im proud of what weve
accomplished here, said
Lochmann, but I will be happier
when the existence of a successful
female corporate law firm partner
is not in itself a profile-worthy
accomplishment.

Litigation financing:
Some words to the wise

Thomas E. Peisch
and Erin K. Higgins
BridgeTower Media Newswires
Recent years have brought an
ever-great reliance on the so-called
litigation-finance industry in consumer
and personal-injury litigation and in
an even newer development - large
commercial cases.
This burgeoning industry, which
consists of a number of deep-pocketed
entities, has no lack of champions
who think it will change the litigation
landscape far into the future.
Nor is it without enemies. The
New York Times has reported, for
example, that the Institute for Legal
Reform - an affiliate of the U.S.
Chamber of Commerce - has called
it the biggest single threat to the
integrity of our justice system.
Lawyers who involve themselves
in such arrangements must be wary
of certain ethical questions they are
bound to encounter. Some of the
most pressing among these involve
confidentiality and conflicts of interest.
In a typical litigation-finance
arrangement, a financing entity
will advances a client the fees and
expenses necessary to prosecute a
case. In return, the entity will expect
to get a share of any proceeds.
The client benefits from the
arrangement by being spared the
outlay and by, in effect, laying
off some of the risk of seeing an
adverse result. The litigation-finance
entity, for its part, hopes for a return
in excess of its investment.
Most lawyers understand that
strict limits have been set on the
disclosure of client information.
Even so, complying with this duty
12
can prove difficult when a litigationfinance entity is involved. How,

for instance, can this obligation
be met when a litigation-financing
entity might want to learn a lawyers
opinion about particular matters
within a case before making an
investment decision?
In a further complication, lawyers
are sometimes asked to disclose
confidential information during
negotiations leading up to the
execution of a litigation-financing
agreement. This can happen
particularly when the lawyers
client and the lending entity are in
adverse positions.
Many states allow such
information to be divulged once
a lawyer has obtained his clients
consent. For that reason, any lawyer
who is dealing with a financing
entity would be wise to explain
the risks of disclosing confidential
information to a third party, and to
obtain the clients consent in writing
before releasing any information
sought by the financing entity.
A lawyers duty of competence
usually requires lawyers:
(1) to provide only the information
specifically required by financing
entities as a condition of entering
into a financing agreement, rather
than everything they have in their
clients files; and
(2) to insist that financing entities
keep confidential any information
that is disclosed to them.
There should be strict limits
set on the allowable use and
distribution of the information,
as well as provisions made for
the destruction or return of
the information if a financing
agreement is not executed.

Cautious lawyers will also want
to document that clients, by
providing information to a third
party, did not intend to waive any
applicable privileges or workproduct protections.
The next ethical issue arises from
the question: With whom do lawyers
fiduciary and other duties lie? It goes
without saying that lawyers have
duties of this sort to their clients.
But do those duties also extend to
investors in litigation?
Its not difficult to identify places
where the interests of a client
might easily differ from those of an
investor. Many litigation-financing
entities employ a stable of skilled
and experienced litigators who offer
advice concerning investments.
As an example, take Buford
Capital, a litigation-financing
company with its principal office in
New York. The companys executive
team consists of a number of
corporate general counsel and a
number of current or former partners
in major law firms.
These professionals may have
advice which differs from that
offered by a clients own lawyer. How
does the lawyer reconcile such a
difference, especially when he may
feel under pressure to favor the
financing entity, which is - in effect paying his fees?
The tension here is most likely
to arise when a settlement is being
considered. The interests of the
client and the investor may be in
line when it comes to maximizing
recovery. Yet, the client may have
other, separate interests that are not
shared by the investor. The client
SUMMER 2016
- C O R P O R AT E C O U N S E L may have a desire, for instance, to

vindicate a property right or restore
his reputation in the marketplace.
When counterclaims are asserted,
investors interests obviously
diverge from clients. Then there
is the question of: Who should be
benefiting from settlements clients
or investors?
Unlike contingency-fee
agreements, litigation-financing
agreements typically call for
investments to be recovered off
the top. Any financing entity that
has invested in litigation will thus be
interested in any settlement offer that
results in a full repayment of principal
and interest, even if the net result
leaves the plaintiff (and plaintiffs
counsel) with a negligible recovery.
Ethical issues also arise if a
financing agreement gives a
financing entity control or influence
over litigation decisions concerning
outcomes other than settlements.
At least one major litigation-
financing entity, Chicago-based

Gerchen Keller Capital, appears to
understand the difficulties presented
by these rules of professional
conduct. Its website declares
that it never intrudes on clients
tactical decisions or relationship
with lawyers. Frequently Asked
Questions, Gerchen Keller,
www.gerchenkeller.com/what-wedo/frequently-asked-questions/.
What do these ethical constraints
mean for practicing lawyers?
First, as noted above, if lawyers
are to enter into negotiations over
financing agreements, they should
advise clients of the risks and
benefits that are inherent in litigation
financing. Mention should be made,
for instance, of the possibility that
any confidential information shared
with a third party (despite contractual
protections) will be leaked into the
public domain. Clients should also
be told that they might end up
getting less out of a settlement or
judgment than the financers.

Second, lawyers should strive
to ensure that litigation-financing
agreements:
(1) provide maximum protection for
clients confidential information;
(2) reserve clients the right to make
all litigation decisions, including
decisions regarding settlements
and the selection of counsel; and
(3) expressly state that every party
will have its own counsel, and
disclaim any attorney-client or
fiduciary relationship between a
clients attorney and a litigationfinancing entity.
