Article Abstract:

Legal departments are required to use the concept of Chinese walls when taking on clients who may benefit from knowledge gained when a lawyer has worked for a previous client. The Chinese wall concept is designed to ensure lawyers working for opposing firms remain impartial and do not unwittingly pass on vital information from one party to another. Solicitors are duty bound to prove client confidentiality when taking on new clients.
