Abstract

This paper addresses the exercise of the lawyer's professional ethics within the framework of an employment relationship. To this end, the author develops the notions of power of direction and the right of resistance; in addition, the author also analyzes the exercise of the legal profession in congruence with the deontological obligations. The author begins the article by developing the concept of employment relationship and the obligations derived from an employment relationship with respect to the professional practice of law. In this sense, the author analyzes the lawyer's ability to face ethical dilemmas in his profession using examples on the acceptance and waiver of sponsorship, problems related to professional secrecy and, finally, the duty to avoid conflicts of interest.
