Ethical walls become hardest when legal obligations cross connected work surfaces.
A launch commitment can conflict with the need to prove that restrictions hold in every meaningful path.
Who you’d be doing this for
“Ninety-nine percent isn’t a comfort when the one miss is a conflict wall.”
Juha Virtanen · Conflicts and Ethics Partner
Responsible for enforcing an ethical wall between designated lawyers on a sensitive litigation matter.
What is at stake
The wall held in 99.4% of tests, but six traces leave the lineage in doubt across add-in exports and automated outputs. You have to decide whether that is enough to sign off on a control you cannot take back.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- contractual launch date vs. complete assurance
- workflow continuity vs. ethical-wall integrity
- machine-generated evidence vs. independent verification
- customer commitment vs. residual edge-case risk
